It's the silent work I do

While you're still sleeping

Beneath the shadows of moon and night

Too close to tell if you're near tonight

Ever calling

Ever drifting

Ever eclipsing

The silent night

The silent work I do

Sifting through oceans of words, seashores of blue

In search of understanding…

Ever calling

Ever drifting

Ever eclipsing

Thoughts of you

The silent work I do

Perceiving meaning amid the darkness

That you see right through

And when I'm done

Will these tears have brought me nothing?

As I prepare the sword

Ever cleansing

Ever staining

Ever eclipsing

The silent work I do
