about

They Were Silent is the 10 minute epic that ends Ghost Music. Oddly, perhaps, recorded in the first Ghost Music session in January 2007 at the Spice Factory Studios in Bristol.

The final set of lyrics in the ending section of the song were improvised on the spot by Sam as before the recording the lyrics had been improvised at every performance. The song took a year of adding and subtracting new sections and alterations before the song was complete.

lyrics

They chase you and take you
To the pits in your head
Tell you what's right instead
I know they hold you still before
Before they tell you what comes next
I know I'm next

He said, he said
I'm sorry there's nothing I can do
I've never seen a case like you
I'm sorry but I can offer
No hope, no hope

The man said I was ill
Said I don't have time to make you well
I'm sorry but I can offer
No hope, no hope

No hope for us, you've got to save yourself
You've got to leave while you still have the chance
You cannot escape this, this is the time to go
If you don't go... and then we'll never know
