The Flame |
| On the edge of the city in the dust and the daylight |
| There’s a place where the truth cannot hide |
| There’s no hell and no heaven, no sense in believing |
| All you have is your hope and your pride |
| Rusting iron, bricks and paper, hold each other for shelter |
| So you sleep and you call it a home |
| You may just hear the sound of the «Calm Before The Storm» |
| In my heart of the country far away from the town |
| Working day after day in the factories and mines |
| And your name is a number and your colour is black |
| It’s the colour of midnight and coal |
| Well, the young men are restless and the old men are tired |
| Always working for nothing and being alone |
| You can feel the heat of the «Calm Before The Storm» |
| Well, you can move a mountain and shut out the sky |
| You can put out the fire but the flame won’t die, ohhhh… |
| You must see it blue and early at morning |
| As the smoke settles slowly and the crowd clears away |
| The shouting is over, they have nothing to say |
| Nineteen voices of silence lying dead in the street |
| Nineteen voices are still now ten thousand will fight |
| And you might know the voice of the «Calm Before The Storm» |
| Well, you can move a mountain and shut out the sky |
| You can put out the fire but the flame won’t die |
| Well, you can move a mountain and shut out the sky |
| And you can put out the fire but the flame won’t die |
| Mmm hmmm hmmm… Mmm hmmm hmmm… |
| Mmm hmmm hmmm… Mmm hmmm hmmm… |
| Mmm hmmm hmmm… Mmm hmmm hmmm… |
| Mmm hmmm hmmm… Mmm hmmm hmmm… |
| Mmm hmmm hmmm… Mmm hmmm hmmm… |
