John Petrucci - The Silent Man lyrics

[Verse 1] A question well served Is silence like a fever? A voice never heard? Or a message with no receiver? [Pre-Chorus 1] Pray they won't ask Behind the stained gla** There's always one more mask [Verse 2] Has man been a victim Of his woman, of his father? If he elects not to bother Will he suffocate their faith? [Pre-Chorus 2] Desperate to fall Behind the Great Wall That separates us all [Chorus] When there is reason (tonight I'm awake) Tonight I'm Awake (the silent man) When there's no answer Arrive the Silent Man (the silent man) If there is balance (tonight he's awake) Tonight He's Awake (the silent man) If they have to suffer There lies the Silent Man [Instrumental Break] [Guitar Solo] [Verse 3] 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 [Chorus] When there is reason (tonight I'm awake) Tonight I'm Awake (the silent man) When there's no answer Arrive the Silent Man (the silent man) If there is balance (tonight he's awake) Tonight He's Awake (the silent man) If they have to suffer There lies the Silent Man There lies the Silent Man
