Bears With Eagle Arms - Here Comes the Wave Lyrics

Hold on
Your Holy One can have what he needs
I only want to cling on
Keep still! You see what I see?
The gnawing and gnashing, the dark panoply
They shriek their seduction; their pleasure streaked sheets surround us
We sing our elegy
Crying out in two-part harmony
We plead

Watch out! We'll wriggle and bleed
So keep stout and grab what you need
Fill up your cheeks and fill up your pockets if you please

Light up the altar and sing what you sing
We beckon down rain, pray his name through our teeth
We screamed when we saw it, we cried out in revelry

And Here comes the wave! How it tears through the house!
Here comes the wave! Hallelujah! Hallelujah! We're saved!
Here comes the wave- how it blows through the horrible panoply
How they moan, how they writhe when they all hit the sea

So grab on my hand and run with me
The terrible crashing, the cacophony
I thought it would save us, you said you would save us please!

Pounding and pounding they pillage and purge
With wave after wave till there's one final surge
I'll take to the belfry you spire the minarets

And Here comes the wave! How it tears through the house!
Here comes the wave! Hallelujah! Hallelujah! We're saved!
Here comes the wave- how it blows through the horrible panoply
How they moan, how they writhe when they all hit the sea
