Silent Scream

No that was not a shout
No that was not a scream

Look at those French fields of green 
Hear the wind carry thousands of broken dreams

Close your eyes and listen to your heart
Close your eyes and listen to your soul

They connect with the fallen
Who can't ever go home

No that was not a shout
No that was not a scream

It didn't echo from the fields
Their sacrifice is forever 

That sound that you hear
That tortured scream
Is your reaction to this

This now what you've felt and seen
