Lyrics
Red gates of iron cast their
black shadows on this land,
dividing souls far below.
The gathering winds,
the armies watch are rising
from the west, foretelling
news of freedom's hand.
In secrecy they've infiltrated
all of our strongholds,
controlling more year after year.
So we've let this happen all
along believing what's been said.
Our leaders cry, we have no one to fear.
We watch the sun rise and hope,
we watch the sun rise and hope
that it won't be our last.
Before the storm...
Is it late to try,
must we all die?
Our system awaits tests,
freedom by choice.
Is it for all man best?
So we wait in fear, the atom split,
our hearts in two be torn.
Learn from the past before the storm.
We watch the sun rise and hope,
we watch the sun rise and hope
that it won't be our last.
Before the storm...
black shadows on this land,
dividing souls far below.
The gathering winds,
the armies watch are rising
from the west, foretelling
news of freedom's hand.
In secrecy they've infiltrated
all of our strongholds,
controlling more year after year.
So we've let this happen all
along believing what's been said.
Our leaders cry, we have no one to fear.
We watch the sun rise and hope,
we watch the sun rise and hope
that it won't be our last.
Before the storm...
Is it late to try,
must we all die?
Our system awaits tests,
freedom by choice.
Is it for all man best?
So we wait in fear, the atom split,
our hearts in two be torn.
Learn from the past before the storm.
We watch the sun rise and hope,
we watch the sun rise and hope
that it won't be our last.
Before the storm...
