A century's footsteps
Echo down these marble halls
How will my future
Fit within these granite walls?
There are so many new things
That I will have to learn
Especially silence

No more possessions
There is nothing I can keep
I won't have to wonder
What to eat or when to sleep
Some of these things are easy
A few of them are not
Especially silence

O! that sad voice
Calling me back
A face I still dream of

To break from desire
To put away my childish things
To banish the thirst and hunger
To end my aimless wanderings
How can I quench the fires
If the thought of you still burns
And howls through the silence?

Safe from the things that haunt me
The tyranny of words
The fear and the violence
But many things I still have yet to learn
Especially silence
