The Silent Man (Live)

[A mind beside itself: iii. The silent man]
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.
