The Levellers
After the Hurricane
[Verse 1]
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
Refugees in our own land
Brutalised by friendly hand
Crushed by debt
No one to break your fall
No one at all
[Chorus]
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
[Verse 2]
Millions spent on unclear war
Thousands can't withdraw
Their martyrs never pause
Oh the gunmen lose at home
Now you’re all alone
[Chorus]
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
[Bridge]
Where are those heroes when you need them?
Lied down here beaten
There is no clash of titans
It's all so disappointing
[Chorus]
After the hurricane
From the ruins of the old domain
In the air was a time for a change
Hold fast 'til the morning
[Verse 3]
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
[Chorus]
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
