Name: Whisper
Duration: P00H05M12S
Description: We use the word Byzantine to describe overly complex bureaucracy and, indeed, the Empire is from where it originated. It's easy to imagine scurrying court officials and functionaries whispering and conferring, the machinery of daily life being oiled by rumour and gossip. Amongst the conventional business dealings a pair of lovers might pass messages to each other.

lyrics

Why does truth ignore the proof
When it’s whispered in your ear?
Why do lies seem twice their size
When they’re whispered in your ear?
Why are dreams not what they seem
When they’re whispered in your ear?

You’re forever in my mind.

Do you hear the voice of fear
Like a whisper in your ear?
Does it say you have to stay,
With a whisper in your ear?
So why am I a distant cry
When I whisper in your ear?

See the dawn spring like a fawn,
With a whisper in your ear.
Hold me near, don’t let the fear
Be a whisper in your ear,
Are you true, as I to you,
When I whisper in your ear?
