[Intro] [Verse 1] The winter sky is loaded now, silver trails that never fade. Radio hums in the background, maps on screens are quietly changed. Kids are laughing on the playground while the grown-ups count the range. [Chorus 1] It’s the calm before the storm, armoured columns forming in the dark. If you’re waiting for the storm, don’t just hope to keep your body warm. Hold the ones you love tonight, learn their names in candlelight – in the calm before the storm. [Melodic Interlude] [Verse 2] Old men walking by the river talk of borders once before. They can feel it in their fingers, the silence before war. My grandma used to whisper low, “Antichrist comes from the east on a cold Advent night.” We were told “it can’t come back here”, now it’s knocking at the door. [Chorus 2] It’s the calm before the storm, modern armour waiting at the border. If you’re waiting for the storm, you can’t hide inside your favourite song. Write your children one more line for the never-finished time – in the calm before the storm. [Guitar Solo] [Bridge] Steel birds trace a cross on the horizon, church bells ring but nobody comes. Every warning tastes like old revision till you hear the distant drums. [Final Chorus] It’s the calm before the storm, all our normal days are out of form. If you’re waiting for the storm, don’t pretend the sky is safely warm. Say the words you meant to say while the guns are still far away – in the calm before the storm. [Outro]
