Lyrics

No rest from the labor at the whip's end, when portraits of toil invade
No rest from the stinging of the needles, when we covet their highs

We can't run from the swarm when we live in the hive
And the game is soon lost when we pray to the skies
We can't run from the storm under black clouded skies
We can't run from the swarm when live in the hive

Are we deaf to the silence, or the roar of the machines
Or the hammering of the gavels, or the thunder of the crowds
Or the voices in our heads, or are we deaf from the silence?
