A Mind Beside Itself

Dream Theater : A Mind Beside Itself

iii.The Silent Man

Transcribed by Cheon-Hyun Soo (hscheon@dshong.yonsei.ac.kr)

1.A question well served

2.Has Man been a victim

1."Is silence like a fever?"

2.of his woman, of his father?

1."A voice never heard"

2.if he elects not to bother

1."Or a meesage with no receiver?"

2.Will he suffocate their faith?

1.Pray they won't ask

2.Desperate to fall

1.Behind the stained glass

2.Behind the Great Wall

1.There's always one more mask

2.That seperates us all

*Chorus

When there is reason Tonight I'm awake

When there is 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 better if i swim
