Life Before The Dead

[Verse 1]
I can still remember
Life before the storm
Lying in the front room
Watching TV on the floor
I can still remember
Sleeping in my bed
Though the memories have faded
Of life before the dead

[Chorus]
Speak softly
To call the chickens home
And the dead move slowly
Cause they got nowhere to go
And the dead don't know they're dead
But we do

[Verse 2]
I can still remembеr
A mother and a child
Gunshots echo through
A cold and bitter wild
And I can still rеmember
Cradling your head
Though the memories have faded
Of life before

[Chorus]
Speak softly
To call the chickens home
And the dead move slowly
Cause they got nowhere to go
And the dead don't know they're dead
But we do
But we do

[Bridge]
I wish I could give you
The memories of a life
And I wish I could show you
What it means to be a child
And we may survive forever
And never live a single day

[Chorus]
And the dead speak softly
To call the chickens home
And the dead move slowly
Cause they got nowhere to go
And the dead don't know they're dead
Don't know they're dead...

[Chorus (Repeated 2)]
And the dead speak softly
To call the chickens home
And the dead move slowly
Cause they got nowhere to go
And the dead don't know they're dead
Don't know they're dead...

[Chorus (Repeated 3)]
Speak softly
To call the chickens home
And the dead move slowly
Cause they got nowhere to go
And the dead don't know they're dead
Don't know they're dead...
