The Calm Before The Storm

There was a time when ignorance made our innocence strong There was a time when we all thought we could do no wrong There was a time, so long ago But here we are, in the calm before the storm While the orchestra plays They build barricades to help close the doors While the musician sings The holocaust rings the cymbals of war We stare At the things that were there And no longer are - And in our hearts Here we are again In the calm before the storm There was a time when we had an idea whose time hadn't come They kept changing its name so we could still pretend It was not really gone We heard our screams turn into songs and back into screams again And here we are again In the calm before the storm
