lyrics

The air grew heavy the day the water dried
But deep inside
A whisper lingered on the wind
That silver breath
It never left
Too soon the whisper leaves me deaf
To all the reason I've been preached
Now I know I can't be reached...

Hers is the spectre
That haunts every shadow
It's cold every day
And it drives me insane

Her Eidolon speaks to me
Outside my window
Steely and grey
And she won't go away

In my head
Where I go she will follow
Now I'm wandering pale as a ghost
Off the coast
The weather is turning

Why do they name hurricanes after people anyway?
Why do they name hurricanes after people anyway?
Why do they name hurricanes after people anyway?
Why do they name hurricanes...?

Towers fall
The power of her memory
Is written in a gale
By the violent hands of winter

I can't let her go
The weather in her laughter
Hear it roaring in the night
I never could forget

She's in my head
Where I go she will follow
Now I'm wondering pale as a ghost
Off the coast
A tempest is brewing

Why do they name hurricanes after people anyway?
Why do they name hurricanes after people anyway?
Heard it coming from the skies above
I never had the right to call this love
I'll pay the price
From cruelty comes tornadoes
Heard it coming from the skies above
I never had the right to call this love
I live in shadows
But just beyond the shadows there was you

So what's a man with nothing else to do?

Each day a new reminder
Triggers in the air
At night I sleep beside her
Triggers, triggers everywhere

Why do they name...?

God damn, talk to me
What have you done to me?
I'm dancing out a fever in my bones

Castles crumble
Their battlements eroded
I demanded you
And claimed my right to answers

(I never had the right, I never...)

Houses tumble
My home away from home
These days is misery
The cracks embrace a bitter cold

The wind is in my bones
A chill that never ever lets me go
I wish to leave you
Your voice, it moved the trees
I want to be alone
A silence in the air to call my own
I wish to leave you
Your voice, no longer speaks to me

Why do they name hurricanes after people anyway?
Why do they name hurricanes after people anyway?
Why do they name hurricanes after people anyway?
Why do they name hurricanes...?
