Before the Storm Lyrics

Golden skies, the ocean wide,

Footprints fading with the tide.

Laughter echoes through the trees,

No clocks, no chains, just time to breathe.

Built a fire, told the tales,

Of fighter jets and midnight trails.

Left it all, the world we knew,

For mountain air and skies so blue.

Didn't hear the static fade,

Didn't see the world cascade.

Radio's a silent tomb,

And somewhere far, the sirens bloomed.

We were chasing sunsets, racing the waves,

Running so far from the world that enslaved.

Didn't know it was burning, didn't hear the cries,

Lost in a dream while the world said goodbye.

Fishing lines and forest trails,

Whispers dancing on the gales.

Taught my kids to read the stars,

Never thought we'd fall this far.

A flash of light beyond the hills,

A quiet dread, a sudden chill.

Skies are darker than they should,

Something's wrong beyond these woods.

Didn't hear the static fade,

Didn't see the world cascade.

Radio's a silent tomb,

And somewhere far, the sirens bloomed.

We were chasing sunsets, racing the waves,

Running so far from the world that enslaved.

Didn't know it was burning, didn't hear the cries,

Lost in a dream while the world said goodbye.

Ashes in the morning sky,

A city's glow where flames collide.

Took my children by the hand,

Time to run—this wasn't planned.

No more stories, no more games,

No more roads that end the same.

What we left, we'll never find,

The storm is here, and we're out of time.
