To live a life in silence, to live without the word.
I'm sitting here like a silent bird.
You try to understand the symbols of my hand.
I am like a rock that has turned to sand.

[Chorus:] SILENT. MUTED FOR ETERNAL TIME? SO VIOLENT.
BUT I JUST CAN'T CONFESS MY CRIME

Like every human being there is a thing I seek.
For me the day when I can finally speak.
To hear my voice again, I still remember when
I could say what was on my mind.
I rule the streets at night, against myself I fight.
I am only trying to survive you see.
No man will ever live after what I will give.
His soul will go to meet my voice up there.

[Chorus]

Piece by piece I die. Soon there's no
tears to cry. I am fading out just like a star falling
from the sky! I hear me in my dreams. I can't deny

Sing with the song of Edge Of Sanity, Silent lyrics!

I am suffering. Judge from my silent screams.
Without my voice I am withering.
Oh, how I wish to scream and to wake
up from this dream, but the pain I feel is real.
I try to say my name. But I always hear the same:
Silence! It drives me insane. To live a life in silence,
to live without the word. I'm sitting here like a silent bird.

You try to understand the symbols of my hand. I am like a
rock that has turned to sand. Like every human being there's
a thing I seek, for me the day when I can finally speak. To
hear my voice again I still remember when I could say what
was on my mind. Silent.

[Chorus]

The written word has no meaning,
there is no harmony in my words.

Artist Information

Profile:

Edge of Sanity was formed in Sweden in 1989 by Dan Swanö (vocals, keyboard, guitar), Andreas "Dread" Axelsson (guitar), Sami Nerberg (guitar), Anders Lindberg (bass) and Benny Larsson (drums). Same year they recorded the demo "Euthanasia" and another one, "Kur-Nu-Gi-A", which followed a year later. In 1991 they released the debut album "Nothing but Death Remains" and quickly became one of Swedens best Death Metal bands. It was followed by "Unorthodox" in 1992. In 1993 "The Spectral Sorrows" was released. Lindberg was away because of military duty so "Dread" took care over the bass on the album. In 1994 the album "Purgatory Afterglow" and the EP "Until Eternity Ends" were released. "Crimson" was released in 1996 and it featured Mikael �kerfeldt of Opeth and the album contained progressive references. 1997's "Infernal", however, returned to the Death Metal roots. Shortly after the band went on their first tour since 1991 but unfortunatly Dan Swanö left the band. He was replaced by Robert Karlsson. "Cryptic" was released same year. In 1999 the compilation "Evolution" was released and shortly after the band broke up. But in 2003 Dan Swanö resurrected Edge of Sanity and recorded "Crimson II" with the help from guitarists Mike Wead and Simon Johansson. Roger Johansson provided lead growls and Jonas Granvik took care of the backing growls and Dan Swanö himself did some growls and took care of clean vocals, keyboard, drums and lead-guitar.
