The Band Played On (Against The Silence Pt. II)

[Verse 1]
In the beginning, I was only sure of
Of my insignificance
And the world outside my window
Where would I begin?
I heard you say the words and I believed them
I was out of step but not alone
It seemed so right when little else did
And I believed that there was hope

[Chorus]
I sang along in a chorus
Of righteous discontent
Something real to be at one
Against the silence, the band played on

[Verse 2]
For a moment I was sure there was a difference
No longer small and significant
Forcing hands, making demands
Never dreamed it would end

[Chorus]
I sang along in a chorus
Of righteous discontent
Something real to be at one
Against the silence, the band played on

[Bridge]
The band played on
Against the silence
The band played on

[Verse 3]
And somehow all that passion gave way to
A cynical indifference
The sound and fury only returned
To silence

[Chorus]
I sang along in a chorus
Of righteous discontent
When I asked why I wasn't one
In all the silence, the band played on

[Outro]
The band played on
The band played on
The band played on
(I sang along in a chorus)
The band played on
(I sang along in a chorus)
The band played on
(I sang along in a chorus)
The band played on
(I sang along in a chorus)
The band played on
(I sang along in a chorus)
The band played on
(I sang along in a chorus)
The band played on
(I sang along in a chorus)
The band played on
(I sang along in a chorus)
The band played on
(I sang along in a chorus)
The band played on
(I sang along in a chorus)
The band played on
(I sang along in a chorus)
The band played on
(I sang along in a chorus)
The band played on
The band played on
