Safer/Easier

Silentium

Compositor: Riina Rinkinen / Juha Lehtioksa / Aapeli Kivimäki / Janne Ojala / Sami Boman

Can you still
Remember
When we were young?
Our hearts were
Untainted
Cruel songs unsung
In the dark it's safer with the night on your side
I'm the one who must stand by the merciless hand
In the dark it's easier to see what you hide
But in the light now the shame is mine
Can you still
Accept all
The things we've done?
Our conscience
Compassion
All that is gone
It's all gone
In the dark it's safer with the night on your side
I'm the one who must stand by the merciless hand
In the dark it's easier to see what you hide
But in the light now the shame is mine

It is rarely with a flash of lightning that a man is stripped of his ideals
But rather by succumbing to a gentle, deceiving rain that slowly drowns the soul
And all that we have done must one day be reckoned and our character judged
There will be no lenience and there will be no forgiveness. We wear our stains to eternity

Can you still
Remember?
I dropped the gun
Now it's done
In the dark it's safer with the night on your side
I'm the one who must stand by the merciless hand
In the dark it's easier to see what you hide
But in the light now the shame is mine
