From Fever, Song 3 of 11
When Rivers Fall Silent Rock-Pop
We stand in silence as the river disappears. This is a rock/pop ballad about vanishing waters, vanishing futures – and the stillness we ignore.
Listen on
Lyrics
The air is thick, the smoke is wide
A silent wind drifts side to side
No water flows through dust and stone
The earth cries out, the sky’s alone
The water runs like in a dream
It fades away, a silent stream
The ground is burning, all is still
No rain will come – not when we will
One drop will fall, then ten, then more
The rivers rage, like never before
What once was missing breaks the chain
The silence fades – the storm remains
When rivers fall silent and oceans cry
Who listens now, when all runs dry?
Where water once meant life, comes fear
And we lose strength, and all that’s clear
In towns they share the dust like bread
One final well is nearly dead
And somewhere else, the land goes down
A curse arrived – and all was drowned
We see ourselves in every face
A mirror shows what still has place
A single drop, a silent sign
Where water stood, new roots align
When rivers fall silent and oceans cry
Who listens now, when all runs dry?
Where water once meant life, comes fear
And we lose strength, and all that’s clear
A gentle wind through ashes weaves
Where water flows, new promise breathes
Time slips away, but something stays
What dares to grow won’t drift away
The rivers will rise and sing again
If we reply to silent rain
One drop of truth within our gaze
And with it, life returns with grace
The rivers will rise and sing again
If we reply to silent rain
One drop of truth within our gaze
And with it, life returns with grace
