The breakers roar on an unseen shore In the teeth of a hurricane We struggle in vain A hellish night - a ghostly light Appears through the driving rain Salvation in a human chain
All I know is that sometimes you have to be wary Of a miracle too good to be true All I know is that sometimes the truth is contrary Everything in life you thought you knew All I know is that sometimes you have to be wary 'Cause sometimes the target is you
Driven aground, with that awful sound Drowned by the cheer from ashore We wonder what for The people swarm through the darkling storm Gather everything they can score Until their backs won't bear any more
The breakers roar on an unseen shore In the teeth of an icy grave The human chain leaves a bloody stain Washed away in the pounding waves
All I now is that memory can be too much to carry Striking down like a bolt from the blue
