Calm Before the Storm - Sacred Oath

All alone I wake to find

The world is no different, nor am I

The sun still spreads it’s rays of light

The sky is still blue, the clouds — still white.

Not today but soon my friend

The bombs will drop, the war will begin.

Every night I lie awake in bed

And pray that the morning sun will rise again.

When dark clouds of smoke fill the air

Feel my breathing is impaired

Winds that sting and burn my eyes

No longer can I last — it’s time to die.

Born into darkness

No more daytime — only night

No hope for tomorrow

Your sun has burned out of sight

It’s always calm before the storm…
