No More Music – Jed Madela

There is no more music
All the world’s subdued
Though I strain my ears
To hear the songs I used to know
It seems they’ve all gone mute
Feels like I have lost
Every single lovely friend
Feels like I am drowning

All alone
In a song-less ocean?
There is no more magic
The heavens are sedate
Though I mouth my chants
Until I bruise and bleed my knees
I cannot change my fate
Oh please don’t make me say it
It’s all just a charade
Come and re-enchant me
Before it gets too late

You give or take according to your mood
Does it make a difference
If we’re wicked or we’re good?
How can we second-guess your mystifying will?
Can we take much more of Your bitter pill?
There is no more music
All the world’s subdued
Though I strain my ears to hear the songs I used to know
It seems they’ve all gone mute
Feels like I have lost every single lovely friend
Would you go on swimming

All alone
In a shore-less ocean?
Where is all Your magic?
Don’t shut Your heaven’s gate!
I’ll be praying here so I will never lose my faith
And my love won’t turn to hate
Oh, please don’t make me say it
It’s just a sad cliche…
Don’t let them disenchant me
Come and re-enchant me now…
