Nobody knew
Those curtains so dark
Hid dirty deeds so stark
The silence is broken
Nobody knew
That which made me strong
Was learned from all your wrong
For no words are spoken
Nobody knew
The sins in midnights past
Have come to roost at last
The silence is broken
Nobody knew
The depth of the danger
Was from kin not stranger
For no words are spoken
Nobody knew
The truths that were shun
Until the cock of the gun
The silence is broken

Love how much meaning you get into such a restricted form… the repetitions and variations with the rhymes are perfect-
Yes, most often is is not a stranger who trespasses against one. I love the line “that which made me stronger”.
Dark and vivid..very well crafted.
Powerful… I think the repetition really helps to get the message across here. Kind of a cliffhanger at the end, with that gun appearing.
Powerful picture of how unaware we become and only when evil strikes to we realize our blindness
