Silent Spring
ALLAN PAUL SHATKIN
If all the birds have cursed the sky
A flaming fortress, hunting prey
A feathered bird...flower dies
The flowers die
My knife has turned on life itself
My skin is bathed in poison rain
A room right on an empty shelf
Empty shelf
[Chorus]
All the time in the world
And you never changed a thing
All the time in the world
And you stood back and watched
The silent spring, silent spring
The hovering of every breath
A legacy of decay infests ...
Mother earth, Mother earth
[Chorus x 2]
Silent spring
