Delerium Silence

Give me release
witness me
I am outside
give me peace

Heaven holds a sense of wonder
and I wanted to believe
that I'd get caught up
when the rage in me subsides

In this white wave
I am sinking
in this silence
in this white wave
in this silence
I believe

Passion chokes the flower
'til she cries no more
possessing all the beauty
hungry still for more

Heaven holds a sense of wonder...

I can't help this longing
comfort me
I can't hold it all in
if you won't let me

Heaven holds a sense of wonder...

In this white wave
I am sinking
in this silence
in this white wave
in this silence
I believe

I have seen you
in this white wave
you are silent
you are breathing
in this white wave
I am free

One of the biggest dance anthems of the latest years, released by Delerium. Delerium is a band, started as a side project for Front Line Assembly. However they are quite influential, some people blame them for being Front 242 imitators. Delerium is a Vancouver based music band, bringing different styles of music, from ambient to pop.
Silence remixed by several mixmasters. The remix of Silence by DJ Tiesto is probably the best known. The Airscape remix won the 2002 Dance Dance Revolution Extreme2 award. My personal favourite is Fade's sanctuary remix. Sarah almost never performs this live, but did in once in Amsterdam.
The vocals are performed by Sarah McLachlan, a Canadian singer/songwriter with an angelic voice.
