Storm, The

Talen/Luckett 2018

Now it has begun

The storm has finally come

The water and the wind

Now it has begun

Is this some kind of war?

The sea won't say a word

The weather-man's a bore

Now it has begun

Now it has begun

The storm has finally come

My neighbors in the street

It rushes like a stream

You’re caught in it waist-deep

What’a energized retreat

You think you can compete

The hero’s tragedy

Now it has begun

The storm has finally come

The drowning and the dead

Now it has begun

My breath is out of reach

Death makes its final speech

Did this storm come from me?

Did this storm come from me?

Now I know the truth,

The waves break on the roof

Where is my higher ground?

It’s down there with my town.

I'm praying round and round.

Am I living to be found?

A body in the sound...

Running round and round

Now it has begun.

The storm has finally come.

The sea begins to speak.

Turn, she says, face me.

Now it has begun.

Take me to the deep.

Take me to the deep.

Take me to the deep.

Take me to the deep.
