WHEN THE SAINTS GO SILENT

Intro

Slow lights fading in the rain

Choir whispering my name

Ohhh—ohhh

Nothing feels the same tonight

Verse 1

Cold hands on a broken piano

Dust falling from the halo

Black clouds over empty streets

Every heartbeat sounds too weak

Late night shadows on the wall

I still hear the angels call

But their voices feel so far

Like smoke disappearing in the dark

Pre-Chorus

And the silence grows

Inside my soul

Like heaven closed the door

Chorus

When the saints go silent

And the sky turns violent

I still hear the choir

Somewhere in the fire

When the stars stop shining

And the bells stop crying

We hold onto the light

Till it disappears tonight

Verse 2

Grey snow falling on the ground

No one talks, we only drown

Every prayer melts into air

Like nobody was ever there

Deep bass shaking through my chest

Like a fear I never left

Broken dreams and tired eyes

Watching another world collapse

Bridge / Choir Break

Ohhhh

Carry me through the dark

Ohhhh

Back to where you are

Choir:

Don’t let go

Don’t let go

Even when the heavens close

Final Chorus

When the saints go silent

And the night gets violent

Choir echoes through the haze

Like a ghost from better days

When the last light’s dying

Still nobody’s crying

Only shadows stay behind

At the ending of our time
