"You're standing your ground (standing your ground) Ready to die on the head that you built out of lies In deception, raising your weapon Every word you speak, dropping with venom You're playing with fire Preparing for war I'm ready to settle the score You're sounding the alarm Well I'm trying to remain In the calm before the storm Calm before the storm I don't wanna fight (I don't, I don't) 'Cause I don't like the way it feels Those cutting words that never heal Behind the barricade You're tossing grenades While I'm trying to settle it Disengage You're playing with fire Preparing for war I'm ready to settle the score You're sounding the alarm Well I'm trying to remain In the calm before the storm Calm before the storm"
