Gregorian - Before The Dawn lyrics

rate me

See the man on the corner standing

Raises his hand and implores for silence

He calls to the sun, he calls to the moon

He folds his mind into a distant land

But the chaos continues 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 can't 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 where 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 ny 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

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 where we belong

(Repeat)
