Before the Storm Songtext
von Queensrÿche

Red gates of iron cast their black shadow on this land
Dividing souls far below
The gathering winds, the armies watch are rising from the west
Foretelling news of freedom′s hand

In secrecy, they've infiltrated all of our strongholds
Controlling more year after year
So we′ve let this happen all along believing what's been said
Our leaders cry, "We have no one to fear," (fear)

We watch the sunrise and hope
We watch the sunrise and hope
That it won't be our last

Before the storm, before the storm, before the storm, whoa-oh
Before the storm, before the storm, before the storm, whoa-oh
Before the storm, before the storm, before the storm, whoa-oh
Before the storm, before the storm, before the storm, whoa-oh-oh


Is it late to try, must we all die? Our system awaits tests
Freedom by choice, is it for all men, best?
So we wait in fear the atom split our hearts in two be torn
Learn from the past, oh, before the storm

We watch the sunrise and hope
We watch the sunrise and hope
That it won′t be our last

Before the storm, before the storm, before the storm, whoa-oh
Before the storm, before the storm, before the storm, whoa-oh
We watch the sunrise and hope
(Before the storm, before the storm, before the storm, whoa-oh)

Before the storm, before the storm, before the storm, whoa-oh
We watch the sunrise and hope
Before the storm, before the storm, before the storm, whoa-oh
Before the storm, before the storm, before the storm

That it won′t be our last
