The Silence of Berlin

Album: Dominion of Ashes

The guns are quiet, smoke drifts low
Streets are broken where the banners used to glow
Victory whispers through the shattered stone
Ruins remain, yet triumph is shown

Cheers in the distance, silence near
Triumph weighed down by the cost made clear

In the silence of Berlin, the tyrant’s voice is gone
The chains are broken, the morning carries on
But every brick, every flame, tells the story of sin
Relief and sorrow meet in the silence of Berlin

Crowds once gathered, bound by fear
Now their echoes fade, the future’s drawing near
The banners crumble, the empire’s husk
Daylight returns from the endless dusk

Victory stands, though shadows feel
The weight of the fallen, the wounds that won’t heal

In the silence of Berlin, the tyrant’s voice is gone
The chains are broken, the morning carries on
But every brick, every flame, tells the story of sin
Relief and sorrow meet in the silence of Berlin

The flags of freedom rise through the haze
The cost remembered through endless days
No despot lasts, but the scars remain
The silence speaks both joy and pain

In the silence of Berlin, the tyrant’s fall is clear
A world reborn, though haunted by the years
From ashes to dawn, a fragile light breaks in
A hard-won hope survives in the silence of Berlin

A hard-won hope survives
In the silence of Berlin
