The breakers roar on an unseen shore In the teeth of a hurricane, oh, 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 the shore, oh, we wonder what for The people swarm through the darkling storm Gather everything they can score til their backs won't bear anymore
The breakers roar on an unseen shore In the teeth of an icy grave In the teeth of an icy grave
Oh, the human chain leaves a bloody stain Washed away in the pounding waves Washed away in the pounding waves
All I know is that memory can be too much to carry Striking down like a bolt from the blue
