Lyrics
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
There was a time
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
In the cities we stare at things that were there
But no longer are 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
And here we are again
In the calm before the storm
