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… |
