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

Em Am D Em
Sin without deceivers A God with no believers
C D
I could sail by on the Winds of Silence
B Em
and maybe they won’t notice
C D
But this time i think it’d better if i swim
