: No, it as made quite clear why the Silence want him dead and to what "silence will fall" refers to in "The Wedding of River Song". The Doctor realizes that "silence will fall" refers to his silence; his death, and Dorium states that the Silence believe "silence must fall when the Question is asked" and that they are determined to prevent the Doctor from reaching Trenzalore. This means that the Silence's goal is to kill the Doctor before he can reach Trenzalore, thus preventing the Question from being answered (since if the Doctor were dead, the Question could only be met with silence, as there would be no one there to answer) and furthermore, preventing the Great Intelligence from gaining access to the Doctor's timeline and undoing all the good he's ever done.

:Keep in mind that the Silence formed as a result of the prophecy, not because they made the prophecy. Furthermore, it is ''not'' clear what is meant by "silence" in "Silence will fall." It could be the Silence, as seen by their efforts, or it could mean physical silence, either of the Doctor or of the universe. Keep in mind that [[Prisoner Zero]] prophecied, "Silence will fall. The Pandorica is opening." In this case, he meant not the fall of the Silence but the fall of silence on the universe as everything is unmade. If the prophecy was fulfilled in ''Name of the Doctor'', then silence falling would be the disappearance of the stars as time was rewritten. Otherwise, the prophecy is as yet unfulfilled and the falling of silence similar to that at the Pandorica is only a secondary similarity.

I think this is set after the time of the Silence fall on Trenzalore. The Doctor fought the Silence there causing them to fall, but maybe this caused his final death and as he was dying he requested the tomb to be built and sealed it with his name.[[User:A-Smk|A-Smk]] [[User talk:A-Smk|<span title="Talk to me">☎</span>]] 23:08, May 19, 2013 (UTC) | I think this is set after the time of the Silence fall on Trenzalore.
