The Silent Man (LP version) Lyrics


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.

If they have to suffer,

there lies the silent man.

There lies the silent man!
