Lyrics Levellers – After The Hurricane
Text:
There’s a light at the end of the road
But model darkness it grows
And it may be the faintest of blows
But we can work it out
Brutalised by friendly hand
Crushed by debt
No one to break your fall
No one at all
After the hurricane
From the ruins of the old domain
In the air was a time for a change
Hold fast ’til the morning
After the hurricane
From the ruins of the old domain
In the air was a time for a change
Hold fast ’til the morning
Millions spent on unclear war
Thousands can’t withdraw
Their martyrs never pause
Oh the gunmen lose at home
Now you’re all alone
After the hurricane
From the ruins of the old domain
In the air was a time for a change
Hold fast ’til the morning
After the hurricane
From the ruins of the old domain
In the air was a time for a change
Hold fast ’til the morning
Where are those heroes when you need them?
Lied down here beaten
There is no clash of titans
It’s all so disappointing
After the hurricane
From the ruins of the old domain
In the air was a time for a change
Hold fast ’til the morning
There’s a light at the end of the road
But model darkness it grows
And it may be the faintest of blows
But we can work it out
We have no doubt
After the hurricane
From the ruins of the old domain
In the air was a time for a change
Hold fast ’til the morning
After the hurricane
From the ruins of the old domain
In the air was a time for a change
Hold fast ’til the morning
After the hurricane
From the ruins of the old domain
In the air was a time for a change
Hold fast ’til the morning
So hold fast
