The Storm

Dear diary

In this most recent letter from my joseph

(Included here), he describes sailing through a truly

Horrendous storm an how he fought for his life to be with me

Joseph's life was spared but many of his crew perished in

The fury of this fearsome tempest

Again I thank the lord for hearing my prayers

And watching over my dearest husband

Night, grim was the night

Destined to fight thunder and lightning again

We pray to God we will survive

Light, fierce was the light

Sparks would ignite even the darkest of fears

We pray to God we will survive

Words, after your words blackened the skies

Darkened the clouds above my life

We pray to God we will survive

Surge, powerful surge robbing my breath

Leaving me silent for days

We pray to God we will survive

And when the monster came

From heaven raging down

He couldn't seize me with his life

He searched the ocean, tore it up piece by piece

I've escaped him, I'm invisible

Faith, hold on to faith

Don't close your eyes to even the hardest of hails

We pray to God we will survive

Wait, I beg you to wait, I plead with you now

I couldn't bear your demise

We pray to God we will survive

Storm!

Geef hun kracht wend de steven, op het roer

En breng hen terug beman de brassen, neem de torn

Geef niet op klaar de kinken, strijk het zeil

Kom terug naar ons beman de masten

Kom nu! Nu!

My sweet susanne

I will fly to the moon and back

To find you in time and alive

And with endless strength

My sweet susanne

I will sail 'cross the endless deep

To find you in time with your child

We'll be strong and we will overcome

Beast, you'll conquer the beast living inside

Tremendously violent and mean

We pray to God we will survive

My wife, I promise you now

If faith will allow you, our souls will forever be one

We pray to God we will survive
