if you fail at this
you can never win
if you keep the beast
you can`t enjoy the feast
woven
a sticky path
that you can`t get out of
even if
you`re right on track
a shortage of water
a state of unease
leaves us all wondering
where did it come from
in the first place
I am the calm
before the storm
I am ten thousand years old
only the key from a weathered soul
will keep you out of the cold
I am the calm
before the storm
let me in
and I`ll let you out
let me sin
and our game can begin
and never end
I am the calm
before the storm
as far as the world knows
there`s twentyfour hours in a day
in my world, though
there may be more
question is
what do I do
during the rest of them
I am the calm
before the storm
I am ten thousand years old
only the key from a weathered soul
will keep you out of the cold
I am the calm
before the storm
