from legend

in time you find that silence is absurd

when you've been faced with truths that are not plain

from legend we construct the final word


 

what once was told is what you never heard

from all the echoes of the moral strain

in time you find that silence is absurd


 

when in the face of the avenging herd

the thing that human truth can soon attain

from legend we construct the final word


 

given by some harsh god who had conferred

on mortal folk the benison of pain

in time you find that silence is absurd


 

but speech is harder and the price incurred

by either is not one we can sustain

from legend we construct the final word


 

and having spoken find our choices blurred

by the dim light that passes through the rain

in time you find that silence is absurd

from legend we construct the final word
