THE STORM

Music & lyrics by Brian Nelson

I saw the storm from far away
The days grew dark, I heard them say
The thunder came, screamed for blood
Came the lightning came the flood

People came from north and south
One held a raven in his mouth
One held a dove towards the sky
Let it go and watched it fly

The liars came all dressed in black
carrying crosses on their backs
They knew their age was at an end
So they cast their cloacks to find a friend

The vultures too, they tried to hide
Too late they knew to change their side
Their broken dreams had turned to sand
For once they held an empty hand
an empty head

~

I saw the storm, saw the storm
