about

A song from Chris' old band, Battalyon, it was written by Julian Fairall in the 80s. We were honoured to have him play bass and acoustic guitar parts in this recording.

lyrics

Calm Before the Storm

Runaway tiger breaks its cage
The master steals the light
The many who tried will meet their fate
The end burns in their eyes
Someone cries and no-one hears
A hunter loads his gun
The writing on the wall is clear
You dance the reaper’s song

But this time we escape
The one they couldn’t break
And suffering will cease
The earth shakes from our feet

The calm before the storm
The new before the worn
The life before the death
You end with no regrets

Headline page decrees its lie
They suck you like a leach
Eyes sown shut are open wide
It’s something you don’t see
A disease that is not named
Once had its claws in me
They said its black you know it’s white
Who will this reaper be
