In recent months and years, reports of natural disasters have become more frequent. Climate change is well underway and there are still more than enough politicians who deny or ignore the process. But the changes are there for all of us to see. But there is no reaction, no change of course. Everything seems to be more important than saving the earth, the very source of our life. "Silent Bells" takes this failing to see further. The earth is largely uninhabitable, humanity is almost extinct because we have destroyed the foundation of our existence. This is a song about the last Christmas on our planet. And the Earth? The Earth will survive, heal, rise again and continue to exist. And we are all going to die.
Silent bells in the midnight air
A farewell song for a world in despair
On this last Christmas Eve, we say goodbye
As the earth prepares to heal, to rise and fly
Snowflakes fall, but the world's grown still
The warmth we once knew is lost to the chill
The fires we started, now cold and dark
This Christmas is the last, the final spark
Silent bells in the midnight air
A farewell song for a world in despair
On this last Christmas Eve, we say goodbye
As the earth prepares to heal, to rise and fly
And we're all are goin' to die
Yeah, we're all gonna die
Candles flicker in windows so bare
No laughter, no joy, just echoes of care
The streets we once knew, now quiet and stark
Nature moves in, reclaiming its mark
Silent bells in the midnight air
A farewell song for a world in despair
On this last Christmas Eve, we say goodbye
As the earth prepares to heal, to rise and fly
And we're all are goin' to die
Yeah, we're all gonna die
Next year's Christmas day, there'll be no trace
Of the wars, of greed, or the human race
No pain, no hate and no bitter past
Just peace on earth, at long, long last
at long, long last
The stars shine bright in a sky so clear
No more city lights to make them disappear
This dawn is the first, without our flame
A new world begins, without our name
without our name
without our name
Silent bells in the midnight air
A farewell song for a world in despair
On this last Christmas Eve, we say goodbye
As the earth prepares to heal, to rise and fly
And we're all are goin' to die
Yeah, we're all gonna die
Yeah, we're all gonna die
And we're all are goin' to die
Yeah, we're all gonna die
Yeah, we're all gonna die
