The silent boy spent his days dancing round the halls of his lonely place
He couldn’t talk but he could listen and he could hear things far in the distance
He could hear the footsteps of his mother
He could hear the quiet thoughts of his brother
The wind, the bees, the flowers, the trees
He could hear almost everything
Safe behind the palace walls he heard their voices long before
Alarm bells rang and soldiers came running to guard the palace gates
We march to an ancient song
Oh we’ve been sleeping too long
We woke to a beautiful dream
And now we can’t stop singing
The kingdom stood upon the hill watching the mob growing near
A choir of renegades, hungry poor souls yearning for change
The silent boy never heard a more beautiful sound
And then he knew if he could sing he would join their voices loud
Sparkling synthpop with an emphasis on high-wattage chords and the kind of melodies that burrow themselves deep in the brain. Bandcamp New & Notable Dec 1, 2023
