In Silence We Sing

In Silence We Sing

In Silence We Sing

Even the silent ants
Trampled upon by giant elephants
Do sing a silent song

They shall surely know
How to shoot
The great foot
Weighing heavily on them.

In Silence We Sing

Even the silent ants
Trampled upon by giant elephants
Do sing a silent song

They shall surely know
How to shoot
The great foot
Weighing heavily on them.
