It's a sunny afternoon
Everything seems alright
In the garden flowers bloom
And the kids ride their bikes
Your wife's down at the beach
Reading fashion magazines
When her heart skips a beat
And a distant thunder roars

Here comes the wave
It blows you away
You pray to God that your 
Life will be saved
Here comes the wave
It blows you away
Holy Mother Nature shows
No sign of mercy

There's a plane parked in a tree
Debris as far as I can see
You try to figure out where you are
A dead horse on top of a car
You wanna scream but your lips don't move
You're desperate for a sign of life
Your head spins at the sight of it all
The pain cuts like a knife

Here comes the wave
It blows you away
You pray to God that your 
Life will be saved
Here comes the wave
It blows you away
Holy Mother Nature shows
No sign of mercy

Now you're on your own
You lost your home
You carry on
All is silent
All is lost

We will rise
Like a phoenix from the flames
From the flames
We will rise
Like a phoenix from the flames
From the flames
We will rise
Like a phoenix from the flames
From the flames
We will rise
Like a phoenix from the flames
From the flames.
