The time is coming, the time before the dawn Turn, turn that corner You gotta turn away Hear what the people say Something, something is going on around here Yeah, surely, surely can't stand the light of day And it appears to be headlong Appears to be headlong Appears to be headlong Time, no time No time Speak out, speak out against the madness You gotta speak your mind if you can't handle Don't you, don't you get yourself elected And you might have to, you know you gotta have to show your way And it appears to be headlong Appears to be headlong Appears to be headlong Time, no time No time No time Before the dawn When I'm up on the hill before the dawn Born looking south into the sea I'm bleached out at night with an ear to the ground I check for the fire through the land Click the bar through the fingers Watching power and happy moving Can't stay in control, days getting stranger They're stranger every year, fear come to hunt Feeding off the madness within my brain And in my heart, you might get told And we might not They might raise, and they might not They might get told, and we might not It's getting near dawn It's getting near dawn It's getting near dawn It's getting near dawn And it appears to be headlong Appears to be Appears to be headlong Don't you know Appears to be headlong Time Long time Long time coming up Long time coming up Long time coming up You know, you know the darkness is out Long time coming up Just before the dawn Just before the dawn Long time coming up It's been a long time coming Long time coming up Long time Long time
