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
