I thought I was a victim
That people hated me
I never had a homeland
I had no safety
One day I saw a beast comin'
From across the sea
I never knew fear
Until he came for me

I called out for a killer
I looked for a knife
I drank from this river
It ruined my life
I saw him comin' at me empty and so cold
I never knew emotion
Till he caught me in his fold

Can you imagine livin' one more day
With a beast right up in your face
Can see me dyin' in this house, in any house
For a man in vain
Blinded by the Hurricane

(Broke out of the harness)
Let it go let it go
(Crumbled in the darkness)
Turn on the light ya'll
(Overcame the madness)
Then take your pills
(Finally righteous)


(Broke out of the harness)
Let it go let it go
(Stumbled in the darkness)
Turn on the light ya'll
(Overcame the madness)
Then take your pills
(Finally righteous)


I stopped bein' the victim
But you weren't there to see
I never felt bitter
Till you crippled me
I felt like a refugee from the pain
I had to wear that shroud with no shame
Deceit and lies
Were your crying game
I never fell in love so deeply in vain

So I stay a while
Knife in my side
While I slowly died
Defeat from the inside
Now I scream 'til the end of the day
Never again, Mr. Hurricane
