Break the Silence
Dawn of Destiny Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Near the house
At the lake where the sun refuses to shine
The rumors say
That something happened here
But no one out there remembered

They say a boy was killed
Disappeared without a reason
And traces lead to this place
And nothing else remained
No boy, no blood
But there has to be a reason for this silence

The door was open wide
When someone walked toward the house at night
Do not turn around
They scream

Has anyone dared to break the silence?
Is there anyone hearing those cries?
Do you see the traces of violence?
Is there anyone believing all those lies?

There are
Whispering voices all the time (all the time)
Or are they
Just fantasy
Darkness surrounds

Don't turn around
They scream

Has anyone dared to break the silence?
Is there anyone hearing those cries?
Do you see the traces of violence?
Is there anyone believing all those lies?

Has anyone dared to break the silence?
Is there anyone hearing those cries?
Do you see the traces of violence?
Is there anyone believing all those lies?
Has anyone dared to break the silence?
Is there anyone hearing those cries?




Do you see the traces of violence?
Is there anyone believing all those lies?

Overall Meaning

The song "Break the Silence" by Dawn of Destiny explores the theme of a mysterious crime that occurred near a lake where the sun never shines. The lyrics depict the aftermath of an incident where a boy was apparently killed or disappeared without any apparent cause. Although there are traces that lead to the scene of the crime, no one saw or heard anything about what really happened, and the locals have kept the incident shrouded in secrecy.


The lyrics invoke a sense of unease and foreboding, as they speak of whispering voices, darkness, and a door that is open wide. The repeated refrain of "Has anyone dared to break the silence?" implies that there is a conspiracy of silence that surrounds the crime, and that anyone who seeks to uncover the truth risks becoming a victim themselves. The song thus serves as a warning against turning a blind eye to injustice and the need to speak out against it, even when the truth may be uncomfortable or dangerous.


Overall, "Break the Silence" is an emotionally charged song that speaks to the importance of speaking out against injustice. Its haunting melody and lyrics leave a lasting impression on the listener, making it a memorable addition to the metal genre.
