This song basically talks of a person with a sharp and striking tongue, Silvertongue. He could be any one... but most of all Silvertongue is the personification of the Devil.
A shiver down my spine
A sliver of truth is carried
Over the wind; the barest whisper
It's Silvertongue - they say
My mind doesn't stay
On the work at hand
'Cos I can't stand if
It's Silvertongue - again
My hands are shaking
My knees are knocking
What do I do now
If Silvertongue - does more
Like wild fire in forests
He scatters his words
Like grain in the fields
That's Silvertongue - for you
Like many else before him
He does work of a diff nature
Once done can't be undone
By Silvertongue - Forever
Lives are tortured
And souls are lost
Forever to that dark place
With Silvertongue - By God
Twists the truth
Dulls the light
Blands the salt
And hides the Son
Resurrects the dead
Of all the evil
Which I've buried
By the blood of the Son
A shiver down my spine
A sliver of truth is carried
Over the wind; the barest whisper
It's Silvertongue - they say
Words are powerful
But God rules all
Regardless of what you do
Dear Silvertongue - my foe
