Calm Before The Storm - Saxon

My father used to work the seam

Far below the ground

Digging for the coal to melt the steel

But now he stands a lonely man

Idle and forlorn

Just like the iron wheels

That took him down

I can’t stop my tears from falling

Falling down like rain

Your words of wisdom

Call to me

I hang my head in shame

We’re living in the calm before the storm

We’re living in the calm before the storm

He used to be the fisherman

Who sailed the mighty sea

Searching for the harvest from the deep

But now the fleets are rusting hulks

Anchored at the quay

Floating on a cold gray empty seaI can’t stop my tears from falling

Falling down like rain

Your words of wisdom

Call to me

I hang my head in shame

We’re living in the calm before the storm

We’re living in the calm before the storm

My father was a working man

He gave his life to me

His spirit reaches out through time

And guides my destiny

I can’t stop my tears from falling

Falling down like rain

Your words of wisdom

Call to me

I hang my head in shame

We’re living in the calm before the storm

We’re living in the calm before the storm

We’re living in the calm before the storm

We’re living in the calm before the storm
