Silent Stream - The Brian Jonestown Massacre

A silent voice is clearly heard

Commands that I should see

And constant turn to simple words

And words get turned to sins

And sees the way to treat

A winter end is snowing fills

That never cross the sea

A war will come and change this land

Of this I promise thee

Of this I promise thee

Accomplishing a faltered plan

That had no frailties

Exist across the will of man

But killing everything

By killing every tree

It’s only once

The song that I sing

It’s only once

The song that I sing

Go back to sleep

The sleep that I bring

And dream this as the water’s edge

And drink before the stream

And float my soul away from here

The darkness what’s we’ll bring

The sad songs you shall sing

Don’t fool yourself 'cause this day comes

Has come but you don’t care

Don’t say I didn’t warn you all

That you were not aware

A glad chance still sit fair

What will it take before you see

That I’m losing me

And then the truth shall be your son

The sort shall set you free

In pieces you shall be

Be sung just once

A song that I sing

So come back to sleep

The sleep that I bring

Just go back to sleep

The sleep that I bring
