Silent Planet - Darkstrand (Hibakusha) Lyrics
Creation creates a void. My hand held to the glare of this burnt impasse;
yours, necessarily on the other side of some sickly metaxis.
You're caught in stasis, matched with mine.
Quantify time with meter and rhyme to calculate a way to prove that you are alive.
Oh mother, teach me how to die.
In your shadow I saw to a distant future;
your life was only a nominal fee.
Signing the sound of silence, signaling the end.
They took your life, mother, as a pretense to pretend.
The hand that feeds us sat you down.
Covered my eyes, thrusted the styli, retraced the timeline to call it suicide.
Will you wait for me?
Death was the chorus - our lives frames in refrain.
Softly we sing notes better sung by our dead.
I'd rather sleep and see you soon than die alone in the wake of this nuclear catastrophe.
We were made to create, you spoke us out of nothing.
Out of the chaos we caused, naked we came, shadows we leave.
Salt of the Earth: Preserve their songs,
Light of World: Burn out the shadows.
Infinite echoes of stifled screams - the abyss you created will ever stare back into me.
Will you wait for me?

who does the cleans?
their bassist, Thomas!
Thomas Freckleton, their bassist
Can't wait to see you guys May 12th in Springfield. Just heard of you guys a couple weeks ago!!! And you guys rock!
Igor sang at my wedding.
Heard them live at a For Today show. They killed it. Now I'm hooked.
@Josiah Harmon we played a bar show in buffalo a year ago and they came on after us, My band kept saying i was giving them bedroom eyes... blown away
bedroom eyes?
Meaning he was blown away by their performance
...Is that Sean from Phinehas I hear? Right where it says: "Will you wait for me?" at like 1:35?
There's a lot of guest vocals on this album, they admitted that it's not something a lot of bands do. But silent planet is just any other band
+DeathAdmin Apparently, says it's him on wikipedia, dunno if it's confirmed or not.
Sean's part is the "Salt of the Earth" section at 2:17, not 1:35.
He was a guitarist for silent planet in the earlyish days, pretty cool tbh.
This whole album became the sneaky entry for Album of the Year in my books, between these guys and Architects it's a tough fuckin decision. Silent Planet, you boys killed it!
God bless over you guys this band is greatness :).
Solid state is badass for giving footnotes to these lyrics
It's not solidstate.
Garrett Russell, their vocalist and lyricist provides the footnotes
i really dig the guitars in here.
I love the footnotes in the lyrics :)
What do you mean by "footnotes?" genuinely curious.

Thanks Solidstate.
I heard this song a year ago and fell in love with it. Then I forgot about the band for some time and stumbled upon the song again a few days ago.....and now they have a full-length album! It is amazing so far and I cannot wait to get my CD in the mail soon!
@bekkert72 did you ever find it in your mall? If you did I'm jealous haha
