Only In A Whisper - Van Der Graaf Generator

Dive in to the Motion of the Avatar

Sign up to the Army of the Phantom

No-one's really who they say they are

They’re all imposters on the stand in witness

Welcome to the Power of Self-deception

Head high in the grip of Holy Deadlock

Don’t count on the way your days are numbered

Listen to the wind which whips your every word away

Word-drunk, has the Inquisition found you?

Weight falls on your shoulders, under pressure

Black dog in the desert heat will hound you —

Hang on, only Faith is holding us together

Dust clouds building up on the horizon

Make way for the onslaught of the Visigoths

Joined up, all the Automatic Writing —

Some thoughts should be spoken only in a whisper

Take aim on the Summit of Experience

Don’t say we’re just making up the numbers

Lay waste to the idea of an Afterlife

Some thoughts should be spoken only in a whisper

Listen to the wind which’ll whip your words away

Listen to the wind that whips your every word away

Scattered as your atoms all will be one day…

Some thoughts should be uttered only in a whisper
