Fool's Garden - Silence

Silence

Silence - You're beautiful.
It would be more than a crime
To end your mission
And to restrain you once again.
Feel what you have to feel,
Leave to arrive
In the land of freedom
And of non-violence
Tonight.

Now you are walking
On a way between,
You look so easy and so graceful
When you sleep.
I know you hear me
When I talk to you.
Don't need no answer
'cause I see it in your eyes.

It's not like you were dead and gone
For the crown that you wear
Inflames the silence
With all the steps you take.

Destroy the chains to grow,
Lay all veils down
And sleep away
You silent warrior.

Now you are walking
On a way between,
You look so easy and so graceful
When you sleep.
I know you hear me
When I talk to you.
Don't need no answer
'cause I see it in your face.

(Dedicated to Yvan Copin, who died in 1995 and all the other warriors)
