Well, it was late one night and the sky was red
And the beast was longing to be fed
And I found myself chained to your bed
And not a single word you ever said
But in your silence
I heard the violence
Yeah, in your silence
Just bitter violence
'Cause I was screaming, and I was crying
And I was praying for my life
'Cause it was more than I wanted from you
Well, if you're up there god I'm talking to you
Was there something more important to do
Than to save me from this demon who
Claimed that he was serving you
Yeah, in his silence
I heard the violence
Yeah, in his silence
Just bitter violence
'Cause I was screaming, and I was crying
And I was praying for my life
'Cause it was more than I wanted from you
And when I finally got away
What did your people say
They said I made a big mistake
And they told me I should stay
But I will not fade away
Living in a world of gray
So I made my great escape
And I'm still alive today
But in my silence
You can feel the violence
Yeah, in my silence
Just bitter violence
'Cause I was screaming, and I was dying
And I was praying for my life
'Cause it was more than I wanted
It was more than I wanted
it was much more than I wanted
From you.
