As they gather around me I can feel a familiar calm I know now what comes next I'm ready to welcome the upcoming storm What took you so long? Ominous clouds block out the sun Light turns pale at the break of dawn The proclamation of disaster to come The deluge that will wash us all away The tides will shift and turn The tides will swallow us whole The tides will shift and turn The tides will swallow us whole Light pierces the horizon The sky's in disarray There is no silver lining Only radiant gray The sky's in disarray There is no silver lining Only radiant gray I know what these clouds conceal from me The view of a starlit night sky That would in turn put these city lights of yours to shame What took you so long? What took you so long? What took you What took you What took you so long?
