Quiet Man Lyrics - Sick Of It All

He stares back, he glares back at the eye of the vicious storm 

he's holding on defiantly 'cause he won't give up his decency 

not sucked in by evil nonsense 

not weighted by a guilty conscience 

The quiet man leads a quiet life hoping for the day he sees the light 

his reticence was heaven sent and everywhere he turned 

he saw the ways of the world and they were hell bent 

he kept his virtue to himself 

peace of mind is a fleeting thing 

and he's not sure when he comes across it 

peace of mind is a fleeting thing 

at least sometimes he can enjoy it, that's more than they can say 

'cause they don't change their evil ways more than they can say 

'cause they're trapped in the storm they created 

the quiet man could say he's seen so many lives decay 

but he chose to never spread his word 

so when he's gone his virtue fades away
