The Sounds of Silence

In every person there is
What we called a sound of silence.
Be it good or bad, now this still lives everywhere.
The sounds of silence that sin our conscience and souls!

The sounds of silence that make us deaf and blind
Even we know what's right from wrong.
We don't care anymore for other people
Even we know we live in temporary peace of the world.

The sounds of silence that people live in fears,
To suffer in great despairs and tears,
To cover these heinous crimes,
And to allow the forces of evil and darkness.

The sounds of silence that murder millions of innocent lives
The dangerous sounds of silence that still exist
From the past up to present.
