Evoluting man’s receding they’ve got him on the run,
but he can’t hide from the disaster that he helped bring on
Evoluting man’s repeating what he’s already done,
and he knows it but he’ll still blow it just you wait and see
The silent wind is rushing all around you
you’ll never hear it coming ’til it’s upon you
Swirling ’round, the air is burning ’round you
The silent wind will blow you away
Evoluting man’s receding they’ve got him on the run,
but he can’t hide from what he’s built, and everything he’s done
Evoluting man’s repeating what he’s already done
The more he tries to do what’s right, it seems he does more harm
The silent wind is rushing all around you
you’ll never hear it coming ’til it’s upon you
Swirling ’round, the air is burning ’round you
The silent wind will blow you away
(Solo)
Evoluting man’s receding they’ve got him on the run,
nowhere to go, nothing to do, he’s dying one by one
Evoluting man’s repeating what he’s already done,
and in the end there’s nothing left, but what we started from
The silent wind is rushing all around you
you’ll never hear it coming ’til it’s upon you
Swirling ’round, the air is burning ’round you
The silent wind will blow you away
