Before the Dawn

歌詞

See the man on the corner standing Raises his hand implores for silence He calls to the sun He calls to the moon He folds his mind into a distant land But the chaos continue there around The city streets Like the paper that burns it Consumes all The gray and the desperation Mingle into tears But the world that is passing cannot Hear his call So the words that he speaks Become the life Held in his calloused hands And given to those who would cry To pull them away from the cold and The rain Take them out of the night Into the day Beat now The hearts that are still And watch as the day passes on Beat now The hearts that are still Before the dawn comes Beat now The hearts that are still Rise as the day passes on Beat now Then I'll reveal The place we belong Watch as in slow motion falling The people return to their innocence A touch of the hand, a sign in the eye As the torrent falls for a Moment they disappear And their bodies are twisted By the mould Of their secret lives Desires they would always conceal For a second the numbness falls away Pulse comes to their eyes Out of the night into the day
