The House of Silence Lyrics

In my dreams I met a girl
Somewhere down the river
She took me to an ancient house
She looked young but also wise
Something made me shiver
She was both dead and alive
And I could see the ravens fly
In the house of silence far from here
Distant voices coming out of the air
The house of silence sends our tears
Shadows dancing for a hundred years
And they cry
(Girl: Give me your love)
I saw her sleep but couldn't hear
What the girl was saying
And sadness filled the misty night
Then I tried to hold her back
While she was slowly fading
Bittersweet was her smile
And I could see the ravens fly
In the house of silence far from here
Distant voices coming out of the air
The house of silence sends our tears
Shadows dancing for a hundred years
And they cry
(Girl: Give me your love)
(Girl: Give me your love)
In the house of silence far from here
Distant voices coming out of the air
The house of silence sends our tears
Shadows dancing for a hundred years
In the house of silence far from here
Distant voices coming out of the air
The house of silence sends our tears...

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
