They Said a Storm Was Coming Lyrics

	For one hundred days
	We set sail without
	As much as one distraction
	But it seems that I have sank
	Because of my past actions
	And mistakes that I have made
	And attempts to evade all
	The consequences now
	Being washed away
	Washed away…
	They said a storm was coming and
	“You'll be washed away!”
	Maybe now I'll be made clean
	While I bathe in your seas
	As I seek out all the dreams
	That I once had
	Of a life already lived
	Of a gift already given
	That was taken from me far too soon
	Halt! Where is your security now
	When you begged for a lifeline
	And were thrown an anchor instead?
	And, has the smallest grain of
	Sand traveled up the hourglass?
	Or, has the sun ever set
	In the east for you
	Or any other man?
	Face forward
	Swim towards the surface
	And look ahead to the life
	On the new horizon
	There was never any way
	Of going back to the old world
	With any sort of victory
	Or good tidings of new discovery
	Fortune never favored me
	And the oceans were never big enough
	To hold all of our iniquities
	And secrets in its clear, blue embrace
	I will ascend from the bottom
	To be born again

	For one hundred days
	We set sail without
	As much as one distraction
	But it seems that I have sank
	Because of my past actions
	And mistakes that I have made

	Washed away
	They said a storm was coming and
	" You' ll be washed away!"
	Maybe now I' ll be made clean
	While I bathe in your seas
	As I seek out all the dreams
	That I once had
	Of a life already lived
	Of a gift already given
	That was taken from me far too soon
	Halt! Where is your security now
