lyrics

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 weatherman'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 an 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.
