The Silent Man - Dream Theater

A question well served,

Is silence like a fever?

A voice never heard?

Or a message with no receiver?

Pray they won't ask

Behind the stained glass

There's always one more mask

Has man been a victim

Of his woman, of his father?

If he elects not to bother,

Will he suffocate their faith?

Desperate to fall

Behind the Great Wall

That separates us all

When there is reason

Tonight I'm awake

When there's no answer

Arrive the Silent Man

If there is balance

Tonight he's awake

If they have to suffer

There lies the Silent Man

Sin without deceivers

A God with no believers

I could sail by on the Winds of Silence

And maybe they won't notice

But this time I think

It'd be better if I swim

When there is reason

Tonight I'm awake

When there's no answer

Arrive the Silent Man

If there is balance

Tonight he's awake

But if they have to suffer

There lies the Silent Man

There lies the Silent Man
