Keep your clever lines
Hold your easy rhymes
Silence everything
Silence always wins
It’s a perfect alibi
There’s no need to analyze
It will be all right
Through the longest night
Just silence everything
Learn from my mistake
Leave what others take
Speak when spoken to
And do what others do
Silence always wins
So silence everything
It will be all right
In the morning light
Just silence everything

"It seems as though the adversary was aware, at a very early period of my life, that I was destined to prove a disturber and an annoyer of his kingdom; else why should the powers of darkness combine against me? Why the opposition and persecution that arose against me, almost in my infancy?"
Joseph Smith—History 1:20
It seems at times that all hell rages against us. That the Powers of Darkness combine against us. And sometimes all that hell and the powers of darkness need of us is for us to remain silent. For silence is preferred to being a "disturber" and an "annoyer". Peace and love and unity at all costs right?
Silence...
That's all it takes. Just shut-up!!! Don't speak the Word of God! Just let others alone as they wander off down into the mists of darkness. God knows they are there and it's fine. That's where they are supposed to be. It's rude of you to speak the word of God with Power and Authority. People aren't used to that you see. It just disrupts their quiet unity and togetherness. If you don't preach truth and I don't preach truth we can all just remain in our delusions of grandeur and world of insane illusion about God, ourselves and our reality. We will somehow all be saved equally as we obey completely opposite laws, all the while in complete ignorance of Gods ways and Gods laws. God will save us all--so just be silent and don't judge and don't be contentious.
Silence...
Be quiet! Haven't you watched any movies? You've got to be quiet to keep the monster from getting you. Everyone knows that. That's one reason it really is easier to just keep quiet.
Silence...
"Wherefore I will not be negligent to put you always in remembrance of these things, though ye know them, and be established in the present truth. Yea, I think it meet, as long as I am in this tabernacle, to stir you up by putting you in remembrance;
For we have not followed cunningly devised fables, when we made known unto you the power and coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, but were eyewitnesses of his majesty.
We have also a more sure word of prophecy; whereunto ye do well that ye take heed, as unto a light that shineth in a dark place, until the day dawn, and the day star arise in your hearts:
2 Peter 1:12-13,16,19
Silence...
"for [the people] do not repent, and Satan stirreth them up continually to anger one with another.
Behold, I am laboring with them continually; and when I speak the word of God with sharpness they tremble and anger against me; and when I use no sharpness they harden their hearts against it; wherefore, I fear lest the Spirit of the Lord hath ceased striving with them.
For so exceedingly do they anger that it seemeth me that they have no fear of death; and they have lost their love, one towards another; and they thirst after blood and revenge continually.
And now, my beloved son, notwithstanding their hardness, let us labor diligently; for if we should cease to labor, we should be brought under condemnation; for we have a labor to perform whilst in this tabernacle of clay, that we may conquer the enemy of all righteousness, and rest our souls in the kingdom of God." --Moroni 9:3-6
Silence...
If we think to be silent, perhaps it would be wise to consider Joseph, Peter and Mormon. If the choice is between silence and being a witness of the testimony of Jesus, what do you choose?
Silence!!
All it takes to deny the Christ is to remain silent.
Silence!-- you are disturbing my sleep, and annoying my dreams! Can you just be silent, or at least use a softer voice lest I awaken and see my awful state? I am happy here in my miserable sleep!
For the light shineth in darkness and the darkness perceiveth it not.
"O that ye would awake; awake from a deep sleep, yea, even from the sleep of hell, and shake off the awful chains by which ye are bound, which are the chains which bind the children of men, that they are carried away captive down to the eternal gulf of misery and woe. Awake and arise from the dust! And now that my soul might have joy in you, and that my heart might leave this world with gladness because of you, that I might not be brought down with grief and sorrow to the grave, arise from the dust, my sons, and be men, and be determined in one mind and in one heart, united in all things, that ye may not come down into captivity;
That ye may not be cursed with a sore cursing; and also, that ye may not incur the displeasure of a just God upon you, unto the destruction, yea, the eternal destruction of both soul and body.
Awake, my sons; put on the armor of righteousness. Shake off the chains with which ye are bound, and come forth out of obscurity, and arise from the dust.
2 Nephi 1:13-14, 21-23
Silence! I'm sleeping!
