Silent Cries - Lyrics - Fates Warning

Fates Warning is an American progressive metal band, formed in 1982 by vocalist John Arch, guitarists Jim Matheos and Victor Arduini, bassist Joe DiBiase, and drummer Steve Zimmerman in Hartford, Connecticut. Fates Warning has experienced numerous line-up changes. From 1982 to 1996 â and temporarily in 2010 â Matheos and DiBiase were the only remaining original members of the band, with Matheos being the only constant member. Their current lineup consists of guitarists Jim Matheos and Frank Aresti, vocalist Ray Alder, bassist Joey Vera, and drummer Bobby Jarzombek. As a pioneer of the American progressive metal movement, Fates Warning rose to international fame in the 1980s and was ranked as one of the early "flagship bands of progressive metal" along with QueensrÃ¿che, who were responsible for creating, developing and popularizing that genre.

Born to an air of apathy Indifference shapes a fragile mind. Questions formed at an early age Beg answers unasked Silent cries Behind curious eyes resides A child who cannot speak. Silent cries Years find a mind alone whose Questions flow too deep for words. Covered in a shroud of silence Watching the world go by Silent cries Behind outcast eyes, hides A child who cannot speak. Silent cries Time blindly races on Toward the autumn years Seasons unheeded pass While we all drown in tears. Questions unanswered remain Alone they mourn a fragile mind Silent cries Behind lifeless eyes, lies A child who cannot speak. Silent cries Silent cries
