A Faint Voice Whispers
Somewhere a faint voice whispers in the night
Every cruel secret it's been hiding from the light
No one suspects the darkness deep within
The vile threats and the multitude of sin
All of this is kept out of sight
Who will draw back the long and ponderous veil?
When will there be a balance of the scale?
Still the sound carries on the restless wind
Somewhere a faint voice whispers
The hushed tones spoken are heard everywhere
The hot breath of hate fills the foul, rank air
It's the sound of madmen forged by design
Crimes we've committed - they're yours and they're mine
You'll ne'er be rid of them, so have a care
Somewhere a faint voice whispers
