House of silence

In my dreams I met a girl
Somewhere down the river
She took me to an ancient house
She looked young but also wise
Something made me shiver
She was both dead and alive

And I could see the ravens fly
In the house of silence far from here
Distant voices coming out of the air
The house of silence sends our tears
Shadows dancing for a hundred years
And they cry
(Give me your love)

I saw her sleep but couldn't hear
What the girl was saying
And sadness filled the misty night
Then I tried to hold her back
While she was slowly fading
Bittersweet was her smile

And I could see the ravens fly
In the house of silence far from here
Distant voices coming out of the air
The house of silence sends our tears
Shadows dancing for a hundred years
And they cry
(Give me your love)

(Give me your love)
In the house of silence far from here
Distant voices coming out of the air
The house of silence sends our tears
Shadows dancing for a hundred years
In the house of silence far from here
Distant voices coming out of the air
The house of silence sends our tears
Shadows dancing
