[chorus:]
the breath of a hurricane — [all shall fall]?
the breath of a hurricane — [all shall fall]?
the breath of a hurricane
it’s the conspiracy on the emerald hills — the death rattle of a shadow company
the silencer, the sleeper and a charnel house — for every luxury
they’ve forgotten more names than i would like to recall
erect your wonder wall i will remain appalled
the ‘mouths to feed’ are dry with novocaine
the pure gasp eats the rain — it won’t stand the breath
of a hurricane
[chorus]
(not luxuries for some… but necessities for all)
this is how i got a taste, i got a place in this unremitting call
not luxuries for some of us but necessities for all
they level out, the playing field — it’s raw diplomacy
the sonic ride, the thunderbolt — tempest of equity
and line up all, with attrition now — and stroll capitol lane
the dual thrust of ambition won’t… — won’t stand the breath…
of a hurricane
[chorus]
i’ve tasted — i’ve tasted — i’ve wasted — how i’ve embraced it
audacious brilliance — running that welfare mile
leaving that noble drop — and a stalwart missile
it’s all about vision — who shoots the biggest gun
who beats the loudest drum — who runs the longest run
silent variety — debilitated brain
compelling liberty — the breath of a hurricane
[chorus]
