Intro:           She tests every word like a fine wine           She holds every thought like her last dime           You could hear a pin drop from miles away   You could hear a heart stop as plain as day Chorus: We live in a land where silence is king Whispers have all disappeared Cry for an echo you won’t hear a thing Silence is king around here Silence is king around here                      Where are the dreams we were after?           Where is the joy and the laughter?           Were they only habits we were doomed to lose Or is destiny not ours to choose? Chorus: We live in a land where silence is king Whispers have all disappeared Cry for an echo you won’t hear a thing Silence is king around here                       - Silence is king around here Bridge:                                         -- Desperate measures come from desperate times                                - I don’t regret what I have done If my actions make you speak your mind Angry words are better than none Chorus:   (## 1ST three lines sung a Capella ##) We live in a world where silence is king Whispers have all disappeared Cry for an echo you won’t hear a thing Silence is king around here Chorus: We live in a land where silence is king Whispers have all disappeared Cry for an echo you won’t hear a thing Silence is king around here Silence is king around here Silence is king around here Chorus: We live in a land where silence is king Whispers have all disappeared Cry for an echo you won’t hear a thing Silence is king around here Silence is king around here Silence is king around here
