Don't Say a Word is a song by Finnish metal band Sonata Arctica.

In 2014, guitarist Jani Liimatainen said that he "still thinks it is the best song Sonata has ever written.

"[6] Elias Viljanen, who replaced Liimatainen as the band's guitarist in 2007, has said about the solo: I made it a challenge for myself to play the solo of Don't Say A Word note for note the same way Jani had played it on the album.

The guys kept rooting for me to play it anyway I wanted to, but I felt that solo was so damn good, challenging and impressive that I started working on duplicating it bit by bit.

[6]Don't Say a Word was covered by German symphonic metal band Xandria in their 2015 EP Fire & Ashes.
