Whispers

What happened to the whispers

Of love and of beauty

Of faith and of frailty

What happened to the whispers

I feel no pain

Not human anymore

We are strangers

Don’t know you like before

I promised nothing

But to let you down and that is all I did

Oh, sweet nothing

Was the jewel in my crown that I sold at the lowest bid

King of swines

Prince of lies

Wicked’s faithful servant

Boredom’s son

Love’s hired gun

Now I’m a chapter

In the sad little book that you keep beside your bed

Me, I know better

Than to let any memory lodge inside my head

King of swines

Prince of lies

Wicked’s faithful servant

Boredom’s son

Love’s hired gun

Whatever happened to the whispers

Of love and of beauty

Of faith and of frailty

The whispers

I’ve no friends left

Who could have stood through this

All I’ve kept

Is the taste of a selfish kiss

King of swines

Prince of lies

Wicked’s faithful servant

Boredom’s son

Love’s hired gun

Whatever happened to the whispers

Of love and of beauty

Of faith and of frailty

Of hope and eternity

The whispers
