Here comes the storm

Day turns to night

The winds are lashing at our throats

As the rivers start to rise

The fate of Galveston

Thousands will be lost

And the lives that we have made

Carried away in the floods



Awaken to the nightmare ascending out of your darkest dreams

Terror without warning, an island swept under the sea

The waters are rising and drowning out the screams

Blackened skies as far as the eye can see



Under the darkened sun, we perish



Here comes the storm

Day turns to night

The winds are lashing at our throats

As the rivers start to rise

The fate of Galveston

Thousands will be lost

And the lives that we have made

Carried away in the floods



Cracks of thunder echo through the abysmal sky

Underneath the waves of flame, we shall survive

This is not a eulogy, this is a battle cry

We must fight on if we're to make it out alive



Under the darkened sun, we perish



Here comes the storm

Day turns to night

The winds are lashing at our throats

As the rivers start to rise

The fate of Galveston

Thousands will be lost

And the lives that we have made

Carried away in the floods



Drowning in our fear, we have met our fate

Crushed beneath the crumbling remains that we worked to create



Everyone follow me into the storm

Hold your brothers tight, we're shipping out to war



The clouds fade away to sunlight, revealing what evil wrought

Left in the wake of horror and all that we have lost



Under the darkened sun, we perish

Under the darkened sun, we perish



Here comes the storm

Day turns to night

The winds are lashing at our throats

As the rivers start to rise

The fate of Galveston

Thousands will be lost

And the lives that we have made

Carried away in the floods



Never to rise again

Never to rise
