Be Still and Know Lyrics by Machine Head

Unto the Locust

2011

[Verse 1]
In this struggle
Are we dead or alive?
Freedom is not existence
It's how we survive
Shake our grief
Hold on to belief
It can't enslave us forever
There is relief
[Pre-Chorus 1]
No change will be permanent
Our strength enduring bright incandescent
Take a chance before we fall
Pressed against the wall
[Chorus]
And the sun will rise
Dawn will break through blackest night
Distant in its glow
This shall pass, be still and know
[Verse 2]
Where there's heartache
As we search to connect
Even just for a moment
Pretend we're content
There is love
Know that we are one
We are all in this
Together weather the storm
[Pre-Chorus 2]
Look into each other's eyes
Make the connection before it dies
It will all disseminate
As we consummate
[Chorus]
And the sun will rise
Dawn will break through blackest night
Distant in its glow
This shall pass be still and know
[Bridge]
Is it hopeless?
Will the fear take control?
Don't succumb to the numbing
Sting of defeat
Take this hate
Let the bile stagnate
Hoist the head of Goliath
Bask in its grace
[Pre-Chorus 3]
Stars realign in the sky
Glaciers will melt and the oceans rise
Waves will come crashing ashore
But withstand the roar
[Chorus]
And the sun will rise
Dawn will break through blackest night
Distant in its glow
This shall pass be still and know
