Before the Storm

Lyrics

[Verse 1] 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" [Pre-Chorus] We watch the sunrise and hope We watch the sunrise and hope That it won't be our last [Chorus] Before the storm, before the storm, before the storm, woah-oh Before the storm, before the storm, before the storm, woah-oh Before the storm, before the storm, before the storm, woah-oh Before the storm, before the storm, before the storm, woah-oh-oh [Guitar Solo - Chris DeGarmo] [Guitar Solo - Michael Wilton] [Verse 2] 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 [Pre-Chorus] We watch the sunrise and hope We watch the sunrise and hope That it won't be our last [Chorus] Before the storm, before the storm, before the storm, woah-oh Before the storm, before the storm, before the storm, woah-oh We watch the sunrise and hope (Before the storm, before the storm, before the storm, woah-oh) (Before the storm, before the storm, before the storm, woah-oh) We watch the sunrise and hope (Before the storm, before the storm, before the storm, woah-oh) (Before the storm, before the storm, before the storm) That it won't be our last [Instrumental Outro fading into Child of Fire]
