Lyrics

[Verse 1]

I was a silent partner, I found

Myself with the rabble that stood on a mound

Hip shot thinkin' but not out loud

There are too many prophets here

[Verse 2]

On the upper side of the sound in the dark

I took it, the silence, I took it to heart

I carried it quietly over the wall

There were too many prophets there

[Chorus]

I was behind it

One by one by one by one

One by one by one by one

Strike on zero

Strike on zero

One by one by one by one

One by one by one by one

[Verse 3]

I was a silent partner, for once

And I was split into two sections

Here is my heart and here is my song

There are too many prophets here

[Chorus]

I am divided

One by one by one by one

One by one by one by one

Strike on zero

Strike on zero

[Verse 4]

I was a silent partner, I know

The part of the forest where you shouldn't go

Now out of the woods and out in the day

I see there's too many prophets here

[Chorus]

(One by one by one by one) Strike on zero

(One by one by one by one) Strike on zero

(One by one by one by one) Strike on zero

(One by one by one by one) Strike on zero

[Outro]

One by one by one by one
