1
On the edge of the city in the dust and the daylight
2
There's a place where the truth cannot hide
3
There's no hell and no heaven, no sense in believing
4
All you have is your hope and your pride
5
Rusting iron, bricks and paper, hold each other for shelter
6
So you sleep and you call it a home
7
You may just hear the sound of the "Calm Before The Storm"
8
In my heart of the country far away from the town
9
Working day after day in the factories and mines
10
And your name is a number and your colour is black
11
It's the colour of midnight and coal
12
Well, the young men are restless and the old men are tired
13
Always working for nothing and being alone
14
You can feel the heat of the "Calm Before The Storm"
15
Well, you can move a mountain and shut out the sky
16
You can put out the fire but the flame won't die, ohhhh...
17
You must see it blue and early at morning
18
As the smoke settles slowly and the crowd clears away
19
The shouting is over, they have nothing to say
20
Nineteen voices of silence lying dead in the street
21
Nineteen voices are still now ten thousand will fight
22
And you might know the voice of the "Calm Before The Storm"
23
Well, you can move a mountain and shut out the sky
24
You can put out the fire but the flame won't die
25
Well, you can move a mountain and shut out the sky
26
And you can put out the fire but the flame won't die
27
Mmm hmmm hmmm...Mmm hmmm hmmm...
28
Mmm hmmm hmmm...Mmm hmmm hmmm...
29
Mmm hmmm hmmm...Mmm hmmm hmmm...
30
Mmm hmmm hmmm...Mmm hmmm hmmm...
31
Mmm hmmm hmmm...Mmm hmmm hmmm...
