[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 glass
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
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
