The land lies still
No birdsong fills the air
No sound remains
The singer's song has long since faded away
The world with old dust covered
The air tastes of cold ash
And my throat is tight
And no soul to guide me
Time stands still
The future tugs at the moment
Will never go away
Stretched, no blink, no turning back
What if my heart doesn't beat any further
Not even the pain can carry me forward ¤gt
Look down silently from the Dark Tower
This is the calm
This is the calm before the storm
The light is so dim
It shines through Dirt-smeared glass
Only gray on gray
Where twilight consumes all colors
The cry of the seagulls long dead
All that remains is the old droppings
On cold walls, a long time ago
From free flight over the sea
The sea so still
Like black oil like bright steel
Nothing lives at the bottom
Nothing penetrates, not a ray of sunshine
The skin longs for moist spray
But only the stench of dead fish
Reaches the battlements on the tower
This is the peace
This is the peace
The eyes are sore, sticky with salt
And how scarred the dry neck
So I stand waiting on the tower
This is the rest
This is the one Calm before the storm
The storm, the storm whips over a turbulent sea
The cold wind drives dark clouds before it
The storm, the storm listen like him sings
Feel how he conquers all your doubts
