The Owls Are Listening

You can't say what it is
You can't explain what it is
But somehow you know
That beneath the trees
Lives a great evil
Too old to bear a name

There is a total silence
Even the leaves won't move
Everyone gets nervous and fears
The silence of the woods

Once there was a time
Of hope and joy
Days filled with children's laughter
Now those days are gone
Never to be seen again

There is total silence...

Not distant anymore
It overwhelms us
The days of grief are here
How come you feel so strange?
Look closer, no one is there

The owls are listening
From our hearts to our souls
