Silent Rain 4:21
Helloween Lyrics

He is God and he is light
She believes that he is like a god to her, bringing light and meaning to her life.

He means everything in life
Her life revolves around him, and he is the center of her world.

To her awaking mind
As she becomes more aware and matures, she realizes how important he is to her.

He's the one of two she loves
Although there are likely others she cares about, he is one of two people she truly loves.

He's the one of two she snogs and hugs
She is physically intimate with only two people, and he is one of them.

In blind faith
She trusts him completely, despite not always understanding his actions.

But in the recent dead of nights
However, there are moments at night when she cannot ignore her doubts and fears.

There was wonder, there was fright
She feels awed and scared by what might happen.

Daddy's coming for a secret playing
Her father is coming over to do something she cannot tell anyone else about.

Silent giants
Secrets are like huge, imposing creatures that cannot be ignored.

Silent rain
Even the tears that she may shed must fall silently, so as not to betray her father's secret.

Silence covers shame
She cannot speak out or protest the shame that she feels because she must keep quiet about what happened.

Lying colours
Everything she sees or hears is deceptive, as though things are not what they seem to be.

Lurking bane
She knows that there is danger all around her, and she must always be on the lookout for it.

Under the silent rain
Everything she is feeling and experiencing must remain hidden, like a rain that falls silently.

Daddy told her not to speak
Her father made it clear that telling anyone what happened would be a grave mistake.

Not to wail and not to weep
She must not show that she is upset or crying, as that may reveal what happened.

A promise she won't keep
Despite her best efforts, she might not be able to keep her promise to her father.

Saw her mother at the door
She sees her mother, who knows what is going on but cannot or will not take any action.

Staring craven to the core
Her mother is afraid, helpless, and cowardly.

She won't care no more
She knows that her mother cannot or will not help her, and feels abandoned.

So in the endless coming years
As she grows older, she will continue to feel the burden of this secret.

There was sorrow, there was fears
Despite trying to forget or ignore it, she cannot help but feel sadness and fear.

Daddy's coming for a secret playing
Her father continutes to instill fear and shame through his secret games.

Silent giants
The secrets continue to be enormous, looming figures in her life.

Silent pain
She will continue to suffer, silently and alone.

Lying colours
She will always view the world with suspicion, knowing that things are not always what they seem.

Lurking bane
The danger will continue to be present, waiting around every corner.

Under the silent rain
Through everything, she will still keep her secrets, feeling the weight of them like a rain that falls silently.
