Silence grips the soul; no voice is heard
Silence grips the soul; no voice is heard
The door closed tight; night shadows creep
The door closed tight; night shadows creep
Night shadows creep; no voice is heard
Silence grips the soul; the door closed tight

Dust thickens upon the old table
Dust thickens upon the old table
Old memories lost; carried by passing wind
Old memories lost; carried by passing wind
Old memories lost upon the old table
Dust thickens carried by passing wind

Dim light awaits the owner's return
Dim light awaits the owner's return
Longing visits; this heart feels empty
Longing visits; this heart feels empty
Dim light awaits; longing visits this
Heart feels empty; the owner's return
~
Silence grips the soul; this heart feels empty
Dim light awaits the owner's return
The door closed tight; no voice is heard
Night shadows creep upon the old table
Dust thickens; old memories lost; carried by passing wind
Longing visits

Where's the Glory?
In breaking news, rehabilitated Republican Senator Johnnie Johnson (Pronouns: HE, HIM, HIS) called a press conference from the Men’s room of the New Orleans Louis Armstrong International Airport, Concourse B, across from the Ignatius Reilly’s Lucky Dog stand. The Senator had just returned from a sexual reorientation rehabilitation program in Memphis, TN after being publically disgraced at a Buckee’s Truckstop restroom soliciting sex from an undercover cop three months ago. He is a founding member of the Reformed Christians for Christ, a conservative, pro-family and ex-gay advocacy group. In the spirit of being reborn, Senator Johnson invited reporters to marvel at his plans for a major remodeling of airport bathrooms.
