The Hurricane (hammers On The Shore) Lyrics - Singles - Schilling Peter

? how the 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 

likebirds of pray in flight 

and nature lifts an angry hand 

posed and set to strike 

and every man will know the power 

that marked the planets 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 planets birth 

the hurricane, the hurricane 

returns us to the Earth 

the harbour lights have long gone out 

submerged benieth the waves 

the moon attends the final rites 

above the ocean grave 

while restless clouds still circle 'round 

like birds of prey in flight 

natures hand all quiet and still 

retreats before the light 

the hurricane is over now 

the storm has finally past 

while on the sand a child walks 

and kicks at bits of glass
