This Long Silence

Lyrics: Alan Duffy / Music: Steven Wilson A systematic killer Returning from Madrid Murdered Mozart in his garden Mussolini ran and hid He was chosen by his elders Sitting on the shelf They pa*sed his heart to Satan Who showered them with wealth A Purple Haze crawled on the lawn Where lonely angels played And Shakespeare wrote of Vietnam While a president decayed Hollow laughter from below Cracked the sky in two As Manson dance inside the flames And the yellow changed to blue Swinging from a length of rope Ruth Ellis blew a kiss Merlin spoke to Norma Jean And granted her a wish Mark Chapman stared at fantasy Bare wires burned his brain As Sergeant Pepper led the band Playing through the rain The third eye on the surface Opens up my mind Twin visions in production This long silence you will find
