The Flame
On the edge of the city in the dust of the daylight there's a place where the truth cannot hide
There's no hell and no heaven no sense in believing all you have is your hope and your pride
Rusting iron, bricks and paper hold each other for shelter so you sleep and you call it home
You may just hear the sound of the calm before the storm
In my heart of the country far away from the town working day after day in the factories and mines
And your name is a number and your colour is black it's the colour of midnight and coal
Well, the young men are restless Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com and the old men are tired always working for nothing and being alone
You can feel the heat of the calm before the storm
Well, you can move a mountain and shut out the sky You can put out the fire but the flame won't die
Ohhhh...
As the smoke settles slowly and the crowd clears away the shouting is over they have nothing to say
Nineteen voices of silence lying dead in the street nineteen voices are still now ten thousand will fight
And you might know the voice of the calm before the storm
[chorus]
[chorus]
