[Verse 1]
In the days of before
Gentle breeze blowing sweetly away
With a song in our hearts
And a stage for the play
Now, we stay where we are
In the walls with a yellow bird
As the news echoes through the waves
All the edges are torn

[Chorus]
Howling wind, there's a howling wind
A wild wind that’s howling through all that we've built
Howling wind, there's a howling wind

[Verse 2]
Time, slow as honey
Haven’t found a way I can move through
Oh, the days are so thick and so cruel
I am losing myself
Worry, oh, the worry I wear on my face
As we struggle to keep the kids safe
A broken vase on the shelf

[Chorus]
Howling wind, there's a howling wind
A wild wind that's howling through all that we've built
Howling wind, there's a howling wind
[Verse 3]
And still, it is blowing
The orange sun burning through the smoke
Vultures circling 'til a man choked
There is war in the street
Is this how it ends?
Could it be this is how it begins?
Voices ricochet, shouting as one
On that wild howling wind

[Chorus]
Howling wind, there's a howling wind
A wild wind that's howling through all that we’ve built
Howling wind, there’s a howling wind
Howling wind, there's a howling wind
Howling wind, there’s a howling wind

[Outro]
Ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh
