Silent Leaders starts like a requiem, with its solemn piano and rhythm section. The death of a dream, announcing the rebirth of something better, something new, led silently? One wants to believe that silent leaders, artists, true & pure leaders can take over the reins of a world adrift. The pace of the song is hypnotic, the instruments and the vocals pushing towards a climax and then we return to where we started.
lyrics
Things gone bad / And we’re all mad
Things gone down / And we’re all done
Silent leaders will rise
The world’s a mess / Brings distress
The world's a mess / don’t digress
Silent leaders don't lie
Silent leaders stand high
We sing our heart / We sing our soul
We sing our mind / We sing it all
We save our hearts / We save our souls
We save our mind / We save it all
Silent leaders will fight
Silent leaders don't cry
Silent leaders still fight
Silent leaders don't die
