The Silent Within

歌词

The  Silent  Within  -  Steve  Vai

Endless  time  is  arriving  in  this  lost  and  found

What  is  now  was  always  but  never  seemed  to  be

In  the  breath  of  a  heartbeat  the  walls  tumble  down

An  elusive  light  and  sound  enraptured  me

But  I  remain  in  my  body

Words  fail  to  describe  what  we  feel  when  we  die  inside

God  only  knows  what  we're  feeling

when  the  lights  grow  dim

Is  there  really  a  voice  inside

in  the  silent  within

Torn  apart  by  a  twister  of  greed  lust  and  pride

When  I  bleed  it's  a  need  to  be  one  with  you

Why  is  anger  so  hungry  and  love  so  blind

Why  do  we  hurt  when  we  cry

Well  God  only  knows  what  we're  dreaming

in  our  ultimate  sin

Do  we  really  hide  anything

in  the  silent  within

Silent  within,  within

Ohh  hide  in  your  darkness

And  I'm  dreaming  today

Only  for  a  moment  would  you  hear

Oh  slow  me  down

Run  away

God  only  knows  and  He  ain't  talkin'

In  the  sound  and  the  light  and  the  life

There's  no  end  to  the  bottom  when  we  start  to  fall,

There's  no  top  to  the  high  when  we  want  to  climb

And  this  heart  is  a  prison  bound  by  chains  of  gold

Wherein  lies  the  keys

God  only  knows  how  we're  falling

While  reaching  for  Him

In  this  vacuum  of  time  and  space

in  the  silent  within

God  only  knows

within

It's  a  drop  from  the  ocean

A  star  from  the  sky

A  grain  of  sand  from  the  earth

A  tear  from  an  eye

When  the  light  is  before  us

And  shines  in  our  life

In  the  silent  within

God  only  knows
