lyrics

52 Hz of silence
Calling through the waters
A heart that speaks yet
Is never heard

52 Hz of silence
Never knowing why the cry goes
Unanswered

Swimming in our lonely seas
52 Hz whale and me
Till we lose our breath and fall
To the bottom of the deathless ocean
Where our bones will be picked white and clean
Never heard and never seen
Again

52 Hz of silence
Calling through the waters
A heart that speaks yet
Is never heard
