Silent Mystery.
Silent letters in the night
Silent screams of fright
Fright and fear in the air
Fright and panic everywhere
Everywhere there is a clue
Everywhere there is a shoe
Shoe with blood and mud
Shoe that belongs to Bud
Bud who went missing last week
Bud who loved to play hide and seek
Seek and find the truth
Seek and solve the mystery
Mystery of the haunted house
Mystery of the silent mouse
Mouse that saw it all
Mouse that heard the call
Call for help and mercy
Call for justice and peace
Peace and quiet in the grave
Peace and harmony in the brave
Brave enough to face the dark
Brave enough to leave a mark
Mark of courage and hope
Mark of love and cope
Cope with the loss and grief
Cope with the shock and disbelief
Disbelief in the evil deed
Disbelief in the silent letters
Letters that spell out a name
Letters that reveal a shame
Shame of a killer on the loose
Shame of a crime with no excuse
Excuse me for being sad
Excuse me for being mad
Mad at the world and fate
Mad at the silent letters
Letters that haunt me in my dreams
Letters that make me want to scream
Scream out loud and cry
Scream silent letters goodbye
Goodbye to Bud and his smile
Goodbye to him for a while
While I wait for justice to be done
While I remember silent letters in the sun.
