Silence of the Hounds Lyrics


The moon is still, the air is stone

No breath, no bark, no broken bone

They lie in black, their hunger gone

Eyes like fire, staring on

She walks through frost with heavy tread

Each step defies the fear and dread

But silence grips the beasts she bred

And doubt begins to bloom and spread

A single howl breaks through the sky

Not born of prey, nor of the cry

Of hunger-no-it is the sound

Of justice rising from the ground

They don´t obey, they don´t retreat

They rise in dark, no need to eat

The silence screams, the pact is done

The hounds are free, and she must run

A growl too deep to name or bind

An ancient call, outside the mind

Their eyes ignite, no longer blind

They circle her, their fate aligned

She forged their chains from blood and will

But time has come, and time stands still

They howl not for her to command

But for her soul, to leave this land

They don´t obey, they don´t retreat

They rise in dark, no need to eat

The silence screams, the pact is done

The hounds are free, and she must run

They don´t obey, they don´t retreat

They rise in dark, no need to eat

The silence screams, the pact is done

The hounds are free, and she must run
