The Hurricane (Hammers on the Shore)

歌詞

the harbour lights have long gone out the town is sound asleep like omens underneath the moon the waves crash on the beach the restless clouds are circling like birds of prey in flight and nature lifts an angry hand posed and set to strike and every man will know the power that marked the planet's birth the hurricane, the hurricane returns us to the earth no man-made shelter strong enough to stop the raging tide the storm relentless in its quest to conquer and divide what has stood a hundred years awakens to the roar as the waves come pounding down like hammers on the shore and every man will know the power that marked the planet's birth the hurricane, the hurricane returns us to the earth the harbour lights have long gone out submerged beneath the waves the moon attends the final rites above the ocean grave while restless clouds still circle round like birds of prey in flight nature's hand all quiet and still retreats before the light the hurricane is over now the storm has finally passed while on the sand a child walks and kicks at bits of glass
