Lyrics
Looks like the holy ghost is gone
Now you're afraid of yourself
Over your shoulder you have to watch heaven fall into hell
Looks like your boat's about to sink
So it's time to prepare
Even the angels are losing sleep
And the sidewalks are bare
It's like the calm before the storm, you better swim
Just like it's cold before it's warm, you'll get back here again
And I'll wait, I'll wait, I'll wait, I'll wait
I'll wait, I'll wait, I'll wait, I'll wait
I'll wait, I'll wait till you fall from grace
It's the calm before the storm, it's there and then it's gone
Looks like the war was in your head, not your heart
Just when you think it's figured out, well it all falls apart
It's like the calm before the storm, you better swim
Just like it's cold before it's warm, you'll get back here again
And I'll wait, I'll wait, I'll wait, I'll wait
I'll wait, I'll wait, I'll wait, I'll wait
I'll wait, I'll wait till you fall from grace
It's the calm before the storm, it's there then it's gone
Looks like the holy ghost is gone
Looks like the holy ghost is gone
Looks like the war is in your head
Looks like the war was in your head, war was in your head
And I'll wait, I'll wait, I'll wait, I'll wait
I'll wait, I'll wait, I'll wait, I'll wait
I'll wait, I'll wait till you fall from grace
It's the calm before the storm
And I'll wait, I'll wait, I'll wait, I'll wait
I'll wait, I'll wait, I'll wait, I'll wait
I'll wait, I'll wait till you fall from grace
It's the calm before the storm, it's there then it's gone

Song Notes
Raine Maida, FMQB, 19 Aug. 2005:
Anyone who has heard the record has gravitated to that song, even live when we play it. We did a couple shows last week on the East Coast and you could see people being consumed by it. It’s an amazing thing. It shows you that a great song is a great song. For us it’s a great song and it was recorded in probably the worst studio in L.A. ever. We used a bunch of the worst sounding mics on the drums. We had no gear. Thank God Bob’s a good engineer. It just goes to show, you can spend as much money as you want and follow all the rules… just all the stress you put on yourself to try to make music. That was worse than a demo, and it’s one of our favorite tracks.
