Whispers of Your Soul

Silence starts at the dead of night
Bringing the hope for a new delight
So we walked to the water
While I told her stories of my father
We lay beneath the moon that night
Such things now were trite
Then in an instant beyond this world of tyrants
We heard words echo through the silence
While still laying by the shoal 
We heard the whispers of our souls
Speaking things we'd always thought
Of which, due to time, we had forgot
Thoughts that had long been dead
As well as stories of the paths we had tread
We heard the whispers of our souls
Laying by the shoal
