Silence Songtext

von Portishead

Silence was originally called "Wicca" and the verse spoken by Claudio Campos
(a Capoeira master who teaches in Bristol) is an adaptation of The Threefold Law
- 'Heed and beware the Rule of Three: three times thy acts return to thee'.
It's an old Wiccan precept about reaping what you sow.

Esteja alerta para as regras dos três
O que você dá, retornará para você
Essa lição, você tem que aprender
Você só ganha o que você merece Beware to the rule of three
What you give comes back to you
You should learn this lesson
You only receive what you deserve

Tempted in our minds
Tormented inside lie
Wounded, I'm afraid
Inside my head
Falling through changes

Did you know when you lost
Did you know when I wanted
Did you know what I lost
Do you know what I wanted

Empty in our hearts
Crying out in silence
Wandered out of reach
Too far to speak
Drifting unable

Did you know when you lost
Did you know when I wanted
Did you know what I lost
Do you know what I wanted
