"CALM BEFORE THE STORM" LYRICS

Looking at the shell of what you used to be
Now you wear your scars for all the world to see
(Confession)
You can never burn the stain away
(Repression)
You can't keep your own demons at bay

I’ll be your calm before the storm

The nights are getting colder
The days are growing long
And you do not know what you're fighting for
Come back to where you started
Come back where you belong
And I will be your calm before the storm

I can't be the one to watch you slip away
I will be the one who always takes the blame
(Extinction)
I can see your eyes are growing cold
(Addiction)
There is nothing left for you to hold

The nights are getting colder
The days are growing long
And you do not know what you're fighting for
Come back to where you started
Come back where you belong
And I will be your calm before the storm

I'll be your light
I'll be your light in the dark

Looking at the shell of what you used to be
Now you wear your scars for all the world to see

Give into the moment
The line is in the sand
You've got to know that
We could have it all
I am more than ready
Hold fast to what you can

The nights are getting colder
The days are growing long
And you do not know what you're fighting for
Come back to where you started
Come back where you belong
And I will be your calm before the storm

You were never abandoned

You were never abandoned

When Howard Jones releases new music my world gains more light. The Torch has been lit! Bring on the album, we love ya Howard!

[NikNocturnal]

Those HUGE choruses always get me <3

[PANTERADAVE]

His voice is just bad ass....looking forward to hearing the album.

[connorkennedy]

I've seen these guys twice. The first time was in atlanta in 201. The second time was in Jacksonville at welcome to rockville. When they sang this song the bottom fell out of the sky and it poured. The look on Howard's face was of pure awe and appreciation. Not a single person in the crowd left to find shelter and then they continued their set in the pouring rain. It was an amazing experience that I'll never forget.

[loganfiveoh]

This is the voice I have been looking for ever since Howard left Killswitch! New favorite song!

[melpega]

This just makes me so happy.  Howard's voice is just amazing.

[KryticalError]

man, i tried my hardest to get into Devil You Know material but as much as i love Howard (far and away my favorite singer in metalcore) i was pretty lukewarm on a lot of the material. this rename to Light The Torch seems to also come with something of a shift in terms of the overall quality of the music, because man the two songs we have so far are both fucking incredible. i am dying for the full album. i kind of felt like i had to force myself to listen to most of DYK stuff. this is like, classic Howard, just awesome.

Howard is a legend. He is one of the rare singers who could elevate mediocre material and make it great (that's hypothetical, these guys are far from mediocre lol)

[DarKKnightt]

His voice is iconic. what an amazing singer, one of the best ever.

[theGeminiCurse]

Howard is inhuman! lol! Dude's voice is just sheer power.

[YourAnimeOtaku]

Light the torch has saved this generation of real rock music

[wess]

What in the hell is this voice! Damn, It brings me tears, Howard is amazing!!!!

[everinthepast]

This album is going to be a Masterpiece!!! (Knew that with Die Alone but this just sealed the deal)

[badjaboy]

No wonder why I love these first two songs...Josh Gilbert producing!!

[drummerdre]

Honestly so happy Howard found a group of guys to mesh with again and they feed off one another so well! Keep killin it!!!

[ATR]

Howard's voice sounds great and the music is pretty good. I'm not a huge fan of their other stuff, but I'll give the new album a fair shot just like the rest. Howard is probably my favorite vocalist in the metal family so he's the main reason I check these guys out every time they release new music.

[parsleyak]

I Know nobody might read this, but today I was playing a Garry's mod port of call of duty zombies with a friend, and we were at a high round, turns out this song was the map's easter egg song, the way the chorus played as zombie growls and gunshots blasted, genuinely the most epic run we've had. Thank you

[freddie]

cant wait for the full album! keep it up guys
