Moment's Silence (Common Tongue)

When stunted hand earns place
With men by mere monstrosity
Alarms are struck and shore
Is shock by sheer atrocity

A cure I know that soothes
The soul, does so impossibly
A moment's silence
When my baby puts the mouth on

Me and my babe relax and
Catch manic rhapsody
All reason flown, as God
Looks on in abject apathy

A squall and all of me is a prayer
in perfect piety
A moment's silence
When my baby puts the mouth on me

When the meaning's gone
There is clarity
And the reason comes
On the common tongue
Of you loving me

And it's easy done
Our little remedy
And the reason comes
On the common tongue
Of you loving me

What yields the need for those
who lead us, oh, so morally?
Those that would view the same
We do through their deformity

Who view the deed as
Power's creed as pure authority
This moment's silence
When my baby puts the mouth on me

Since it's all been gone
To it's reckoning
There the reason come
On the common tongue
Of you loving me

Be thankful, some
Know it lovingly
There the reason come
In the common tongue
Of you loving me

Like a heathen clung
To the homily
Let the reason come
To the common tongue
Of you loving me

So summon on the pearl rosary
Let the reason come
On the common tongue
Of you loving me
