[Verse]
Many years ago when we were young
And our life together had just begun
There was nothing that we couldn’t do
We’d take on the world, just me and you
[Verse]
But things changed with the passing of time
I realized you were no longer mine
You packed your bags and said goodbye
What I thought was true was just a lie
[Chorus]
The silence screams like a lion’s roar
As it devours what was here before
The shadows engulf all that once was
And I’m paralyzed as it does
The silence screams haunting me at night
As it’s darkness covers up the light
This is a house but no longer a home
Memories speak to me when I’m alone
Creeping into my mind when I dream
It’s deafening…
When the silence screams
[Guitar Solo]
[Verse]
And just like that your heart had moved on
My hopes and dreams were all dead and gone
You started a brand new life somewhere
And I was lost but you didn’t care
[Verse]
So hard to move on with a love that died
It’s been 3 long years but I still cry
Sometimes I talk to your memory
Holding on to the you that’s left in me
[Chorus]
The silence screams like a lion’s roar
As it devours what was here before
The shadows engulf all that once was
And I’m paralyzed as it does
The silence screams haunting me at night
As it’s darkness covers up the light
This is a house but no longer a home
Memories speak to me when I’m alone
Creeping into my mind when I dream
It’s deafening…
When the silence screams
[Bridge]
They say a pictures worth a thousand words
And the pictures here are all that I’ve heard
They speak to me about a better time
Of long ago when you were still mine
[Chorus]
The silence screams like a lion’s roar
As it devours what was here before
The shadows engulf all that once was
And I’m paralyzed as it does
The silence screams haunting me at night
As it’s darkness covers up the light
This is a house but no longer a home
Memories speak to me when I’m alone
Creeping into my mind when I dream…
It’s deafening…
When the silence screams
[Final Chorus]
The silence screams like a lion’s roar
As it devours what was here before
The shadows engulf all that once was
And I’m paralyzed as it does
The silence screams haunting me at night
As it’s darkness covers up the light
This is a house but no longer a home
Memories speak to me when I’m alone
Creeping into my mind when I dream
It’s deafening…
When the silence screams
