Mars Ill

The Calm Before
(Verse #1) I left my footprints on the ocean's waves before the storm came/ But form changed to man overboard sinking self-aware/ Thinking no one's there to catch me when I fall to the sandy floor beneath the coral reef/ I pray the Lord my soul to keep. He holds the deep in His palm/ And simultaneously, He gives His hand to me/ The salty sea that made my eyes to weep is now beneath my feet/ With concrete stability, steps I take to moves made critically/ Peripheral at a standstill as Divinity makes His presence felt physically/ It's miraculous but true. It's all for you/ But the fact is that modern man is scared to death and torn in two/ Because the truth draws him higher, undercurrent holds him down/ Afraid he'll drown, he forgets those pieces of peace he might have found/ Well at least he struggles 'cause to stroll too easily through those puddles/ Lulls you to sleepy dreamscapes where your sensibilities are muddled/ And I know that if he seeks God, he'll recognize Him when he sees Him/ And he'll realize whose hands he needs to be in... (Verse #2) When disaster strikes the field, the likes of them head for the hills/ To regroup their bearings on their enemy 'til they're ready, dressed to kill/ “It's better to feel safe than live in fear.” I ask 'em, “Why is that?”/ They responded,“We need stability in this comfortable habitat.”/ “So send the lower/middle-class to the front lines, their death will protect us.”/ “We'll talk loud and hide behind our penthouses and brand new Lexus.”/ “It affects us to a point. Didn't you see the stock market crash?”/ Letras de canciones“We couldn't sacrifice our buying power. Tell me, how smart is that?”/ I said, I saw the blast, heard the crash of lives shattered to pieces/ Saw a street preached yelling loud and holding a sign about Jesus/ I agreed and kept walking because I'm not quite sure what to do/ I tried to front and talk a lot of patriotism, same as you/ But the ideas ain't really new, see genocide, it happens globally/ We just get shook up when it happens locally/ So, love one another and be wise. Don't foster malice/ In the name of revenge for Country until your soul turns callous, soul turns callous... (Verse #3) Before the world premiere of dawn light switched on and day broke through/ Before the sky was blue, before any big-bang or primordial ooze/ Before man stepped on the scene in his prowess unprepared for the challenge/ Before the planets were set in place to hold the galaxies in the balance/ Before time, before reason, rhyme, love, hate and emotion/ Before the seasons, before the first word was spoken or heart was broken/ Before defiance turned to evil revolt and all Hell broke loose/ Before any creature would even dare to contradict His point of view/ He was there, God, triune, omnipotent, controlling existence/ Before people claimed to serve the Crucified was a slave religion/ Before the fall of Adam imprisoned descendants with original scars/ Before you were born of your mother to try to figure out just who you are/ Before war and confusion, before reality, before illusion/ Before the beginning, Elohim had mapped out all the conclusions/ Before the restitution to come that Revelation promises all of us/ Not Nostradamus' blind predictions through delusional blurred vision/ The calm came before the storm with power to kill/ The calm is present now and it lives within me still/ The calm is present now and it lives within me still/ The Calm is present now and He lives within me still...
