Fates Warning - Nothing Left To Say Lyrics






I remember the endless longing
That called inside of me
From fountains of expression
Trying to break free.

Nothing left to say
When the walls give way.

Still I can faintly recall
The subtle purity
Of youthful inspiration
And insecurity.

Nothing left to say
When the child finds his way.

Pride and the drive that started the dream
Turned in time to an endless obsession.
Caught in a vicious circle of compulsion.

Desires bind the truth to secrecy
But behind the aspirations I see
A life devoted to blind ambition
And a mortal man searching for eternity.

Behind the desires
And the wall that gave way
There's a forgotten cause
Consumed by the day.

Behind the ambitions
Of a child who found his way
There's a cold realization
That our deeds die with the day.
And behind the disguise
Of a man with a cause
There's a child screaming
With nothing left to say.

Paralyzed by inhibitions
And indecisions.
What was once a release
Is now a prison.

  1. H.... 6....

    Lucas is right....100%

  2. H.... 6....

    Beautiful....just excellent...👍

  3. R.... U....

    Queensryche+Metallica=Awesome sound they're a lot like them

  4. L.... ....

    "Perfect Symmetry " " Parallels", "Inside Out" and "A Pleasant Shade of Gray ". 4 albuns in a row, no one single annoying song. All 10/10 😃🤘🤘

    L.... ....

    You nailed it...😅

    L.... ....

    Why stop there???? Disconnected, X, Darkness..., Theories... are also flawless!!! And there's more yet to come!!!

  5. L.... ....

    By the way I like 3 Dream Theater albuns (1992, 1994,1997), Metropolis is overrated imo. Queensryche has 5 classic (1984,1986,1988,1990,1994). Well, all 9 Fates recorded w/ Alder are just great!

  6. L.... ....

    With due respect to DT fans, FW is much more solid band. After Ray Alder joined the band no one bad or avarage album. All 8.5 to 10 grade.

    L.... ....

    DT used to be my favourite band way back when, but overall I agree Fates is the better band. Jim's songwriting just has that raw emotion that a lot of prog/metal bands don't have

  7. L.... ....

    True legends

  8. J.... R....

    I was sure Rush 'borrowed' heavily from this for YYZ on Moving Pictures, checked the dates and lo, it appears the opposite occurred

  9. s.... k....

    a masterpiece...I'm sorry that not everyone knows her.

    s.... k....

    Love at first listen.

    Still one of my favourite FW songs

  10. J.... C....

    Love Forever.🎸🎸🎸🎸🔊🔊🔊🔊

  11. J.... B....

    i tend to love this early darkness approaching Solstice.

  12. J.... B....

    mindlessly munching on candy corn on a November afternoon.

  13. T.... H....

    Awesome n Amazing Song nBand

  14. B.... M....

    THIS A LEGENDARY METAL CLASSIC 🤘RAY IS TRULY ONE OF THE METAL GOD'S. GEOFF TATE LEAD THE NEW BREED OF SINGERS🤘

  15. G.... ....

    Timeless classic...the whole album. I heard the old guy on the cover is the same old guy in Metallica's Enter Sandman video...sure looks like him

  16. O.... S....

    Mark Zonder. That is all

    O.... S....

    Nothing left to say XD

    O.... S....

    Zonder = God mode 🤘🏻

    O.... S....

    Phenomenal.

  17. �.... �....

    cathegory: humour

    �.... �....

    Well it brings a smile to my face every time :)

  18. M.... ....

    Timeless!!

  19. s.... ....

    This was highlight of Parallels reunion show, for me, in 2010. Matheos and Aresti harmonizing, Bones & Mark keeping in sync and Ray simply owning

  20. r.... ....

    Nothing more hardcore than openly admitting your concern that your life is a joke.
    I mean that. That's fuckin' ballsy.

    r.... ....

    +ralphyetmore This song reaches out on a spiritual level I think. When you're so depressed that nothing has any meaning anymore you lose all the ambition of being strong, and all that's left is a want to connect to another human being :) At least that's my experience.

    r.... ....

    +Gore Bag I agree wholeheartedly!

  21. S.... ....

    perfection

  22. M.... H....

    for all these people that saw pantera and sanctuary..let it be known..i hate you..25 years later:)  love you mfers!!! just jelly!!!

    M.... H....

    should of seen Iron Maiden back then..Or Scorpions..who owned monsters of rock tour.

  23. V.... ....

    Me too !! Freddy's Dead let me knew Fates Warning and this wonderful song... one of the best song of all time for me !! Great

  24. O.... O....

    an awesome song, Freddy's Dead let me know it!

  25. R.... ....

    A beautifully written song with Alder's incredible high register! :D

  26. R.... B....

    I was at the same tour and saw them with Sanctuary, Dead ON and a relatively "unknown" Pantera during CFH. My fave moment was Epitaph! I was right there 2nd row at L'amour in Brooklyn, NY. I met Frank Aresti later on in the crowd.

    R.... B....

    I was at Lamour's for that show!! It was nuts. Drove from Ct. Came out of the club and all 4 tires on my buddies car were slashed. Spent all night roaming the streets of Brooklyn

  27. J.... S....

    Sanctuary was opening at Hammerjacks in 89 or 90. An awesome night with 2 or my biggest vocal influences, Alder and Dane

  28. P.... S....

    i think you are very lucky bro! best band in the world

  29. J.... S....

    Saw them perform this song on the Perfect Symmetry tour years ago. Glorious.
