Silence

Where have you gone?
I had known you
At least I think
And I made a climb
Just like he did
And just like him

I couldn't hear you in the wind
I couldn't hear you in the quake
Nor in the fire
It was only in silence

Now that my dogma days are done
It is your whisper I wait on
A whisper of something
Of anything
At all

And the fear in me
Is growing gently
Oh the fear in me
Will fill my heartbeat

Ba-dum
Ba-dum ba-dum ba-dum

Where are you still?
When you say that you're my father
But you won't give me an answer
Try me like you could
But I'm not as good as he was
And I'd doubt your name as soon as

Lightning has fallen from heaven
Before any sword had pierced the skin
The house could be shaking
And I'd run from your making
Looking to pages I've worn thin
Rubbing my eyes off in the sink
You say that you love me
How can you love me at all?

And the fear in me
Is growing gently
Oh the fear in me
Will fill my heartbeat
Ba-dum
Ba-dum ba-dum ba-dum

Take
Take all my rest
As I lay the sheets and lie awake
Why, oh why
Do I so feel wrong?
As I ask of you in the night
Where have you gone?

Where have you gone?
Where have you gone?
Where have you gone?
Where?
Where? Where? Where? Where?
Your way
YHWH
YHWH
