Waves of Fear

Sea spray crashes against the harbour walls The wind is rising in anger Song birds seek out other concert halls Away from the waves of fear Clouds gather slowly out along the coast Making the journey inshore Covering the land we love the most Away from the waves of fear Fishing boats as one make a break for home Ahead of the angry tempest Leaving the storm to the waters alone To face the waves of fear The waves have risen to a record height Fear is instilled in all Punishing the land with all of it’s might Using those waves of fear Homes are secured from the predator outside Occupants safe within Destiny lays ruined as storms collide Double the waves of fear The violence abates throughout the night Cautiously greets the dawn The strewn beach is a colourful sight Thanks to the waves of fear
