World of silence

Silence fills the streets as the last of us arrive
Silent moment for those who have returned alive
Parade of ages marching toward the blackened gate
Passing on through would seal our fate

Overwhelming silence, screaming in our ears
Of all we've seen was the worst of our fears

Walk through the door, fall through the floor
You'll find this world is now yours
With no way out there is no doubt
This world of silence is yours

A holy shrine,
a test of time to break these walls,
who am I?
Yet I would sacrifice,
No medals for us when we're done,
we are the forgotten ones
Silence will forever follow,
no bright light a dead tomorrow
