Hurricane
Lyrics

Above the coast I’m watching you

Scuttle underneath

Bringing all my force to bear

Forming over sea

I’ve been swelling up for you

Elementary

Look at what the wind dragged in

Gathering my speed

-

HERE TO FLOOD YOUR HOMES NOW

INCOMING STORMCLOUD

BLACK TO THE HORIZON

FILL THE SKY

HERE TO CHILL YOUR BONES NOW

ONCOMING STORMCLOUD

HAMMER ON YOUR SHELTER

BREAK INSIDE

-

Above the city watching you

Batten down the hatches

Scurrying for cover while

Fork lightning flashes

I’ve been saving up for you

Cower at my presence

Pouring through your shattered roof

Teaching you a lesson

-

HERE TO FLOOD YOUR HOMES NOW

INCOMING STORMCLOUD

BLACK TO THE HORIZON

FILL THE SKY

HERE TO CHILL YOUR BONES NOW

ONCOMING STORMCLOUD

HAMMER ON YOUR SHELTER

BREAK INSIDE

Hurricane used to be a song called Dreamcloud, which was a cheesy song about riding on a cloud above a city. I didn't like the corny lyrics or the tune for it, so I decided to write something new based on a stormcloud. Which eventually became a hurricane as the opportunity for exposition is enhanced the more severe the weather gets.

So, what we have here is a song written from the perspective of the hurricane itself as if it were alive, punishing us puny humans for wrecking the planet.

Turned out nice again!
