Erase Errata - Galveston, Dark Tides lyrics

Artist: Erase Errata

album: Lost Weekend


Turn of the century
There came a mighty surge
And it washed away
This city's sweat and blood
The Gulf was stealing lives
Young, old, and in between
Ripped the clothes off their backs
Disaster unforeseen
The wind beat down the city
The water climbed and grew
Roof tiles as deadly as swords
Debris impaled and flew
It dragged on through the night
The dreadful screams and cries
With nothing left intact
After receding tides
It was dark times
Over six thousand killed
In several hours of horror
We dropped their bodies at sea
But they washed back to the shore
And now our city mourned
And burned our dead in pyres
Mama lost her mama
Granddaddy lost his wife
It was a gruesome time
It was so hard to take
Recalling talk of a sea wall
But no priority
And now the years have passed
I'm thinking of that time
Thinking of the storm
And what it washed away
With its dark tides
