Rush - The Wreckers lyrics

The breakers roar on an unseen shore In the teeth of a hurricane Oh we struggle in vain A hellish night - a ghostly light Appears through the driving rain Salvation in a human chain All I know is that sometimes you have to be wary Of a mircale too good to be true All I know is that sometimes the truth is contrary Everything in life you thought you knew All I know is that sometimes you have to be wary 'Cause sometimes the target is you Driven aground, with that awful sound Drowned by the cheer from ashore Oh we wonder what for The people swarm through the darkling storm Gather everything they can score 'Til their backs won't bear any more All I know is that sometimes you have to be wary Of a mircale too good to be true All I know is that sometimes the truth is contrary Everything in life you thought you knew All I know is that sometimes you have to be wary 'Cause sometimes the target is you The breakers roar on an unseen shore In the teeth of an icy grave In the teeth of an icy grave Oh the human chain leaves a bloody stain Washed away in the pounding waves Washed away in the pounding waves All I know is that sometimes you have to be wary Of a mircale too good to be true All I know is that sometimes the truth is contrary Everything in life you thought you knew All I know is that sometimes you have to be wary 'Cause sometimes the target is you All I know is that memory can be too much to carry Striking down like a bolt from the blue All I know is that sometimes the truth is contrary Everything in life you thought you knew All I know is that sometimes the truth is contrary 'Cause sometimes the target is you
