Tornadoes
Sounds of Desolation: Tornadoes Unveil Nature's Wrath
Lyrics
The clouds started forming at five o'clock pm
The formation of clouds began at 5 o'clock in the evening.
The funnel clouds touched down
Tornadoes touched down with funnel clouds.
Five miles north of Russellville
The tornadoes were five miles north of Russellville.
Sirens were blowing, clouds spat rain
Sirens were sounding, and rain was falling from the clouds.
And as the things came threw, it sounded like a train
The tornadoes brought destructive things, creating a sound reminiscent of a train.
"It came without no warning" said Bobbi Jo McLean
Bobbi Jo McLean recalls the tornado coming without warning.
She and husband Nolen always loved to watch the rain
Bobbi Jo and her husband Nolen enjoyed watching the rain.
It sucked him out the window, he ain't come home again
Nolen was sucked out of the window during the tornado and did not return home.
All she can remember is "It sounded like a train"
All Bobbi Jo remembers is the tornado sounding like a train.
Pieces of that truck stop, litter up the highway, I been told
Debris from a truck stop is scattered along the highway.
And I hear that missing trucker ended up in Kansas
There are reports of a missing trucker, possibly ending up in Kansas.
(or maybe it was Oz).
(Uncertain) Mention of Kansas or Oz as a possible location for the missing trucker.
The Nightmare Tour ended for my band and me
The significant events occurred on the night of a homecoming concert during tornadoes hitting the hometown.
The night all the shit went down
This references the chaotic events that unfolded during the night.
A homecoming concert, the night the tornadoes hit my hometown.
The concert coincided with tornadoes hitting the narrator's hometown.
The few who braved the weather were sucked out of the auditorium
Those who attended the concert and faced the weather were sucked out of the auditorium.
I can still remember the sound of their applause in the rain
The memory of the audience's applause in the rain is still vivid.
As it echoed through them storm clouds, I swear, It sounded like a train.
The applause echoed through storm clouds, resembling the sound of a train.
