The Moment Before Lyrics

You went to bed in one life

Woke up in the next

While you were asleep

They cut off the king's head

You sat your kids down

And you prayed for their lives

Dear lord spare their souls

From the death of mankind

We measure our time in events

And this will part of that lore

The world seems so loud ever since

It was quiet the moment before

They rounded you up

And they called out your names

The healthy ones were taken

To be heroes or graves

Their fingers were crossed

When they said they'd protect you

The bad become good

And the lies became the true

The fire is where it begins

Now all we know is the war

The world seems so loud ever since

It was quiet the moment before

They sent them back home

But they weren't the same

Their faces were scarred

And their legs had gone lame

You sent them to the doctor

But the doctor would forfeit

You don't have the money

But thank you for your service

They sent out the poor and the kids

But they never said what it's for

The world seems so loud ever since

It was quiet the moment before

We measure our time in events

And this will be part of that lore

The world seems so loud ever since

It was quiet the moment before
