Double Creek Estates

What do you do when outside your door
The stone is all you can see?
A curtain churning up everything it touches
A wall in my own way, like hell itself has come
We can only guess what happened next
No one pulled into that spinning void is here to tell

It would have been quick, it would have been terrifying
But it would have been quick, here one second and they're gone
Ripped away into the dark

The last thing they held was the hand of their mother
The last thing they felt was the arm of their father
Around his shoulder (move on)
If we have to go, then we'll go together
If we have to go, then we'll go together
Hold on

At 300 miles and even more
The speed is no longer windy
In any way that we can comprehend
Don't worry, you won't be crushed
'Cause nothing falls
Everything is swept away in a blink

And it's natural to wonder, did they suffer?
Ripped away into the dark

The last thing they held was the hand of their mother
The last thing they felt was the arm of their father
Around his shoulder (move on)
If we have to go, then we'll go together
If we have to go, then we'll go together
Hold on

The prayer of a father for his daughter
The prayer of a mother for her sons
Not granted, and when we get to that gate of life
We'll have to ask, "Why did it slow down right on top of them?
Why did it sweep double creek so completely?"
All those families holding each other

The last thing they held was the hand of their mother
The last thing they felt was the arm of their father
Around his shoulder (move on)
If we have to go, then we'll go together
If we have to go, then we'll go together

The roar of a thousand freight trains closing in
All those families holding each other
When we get to that gate of light
We'll have to ask, "Why did it sweep double creek so completely?"

If we have to go, then we'll go together
If we have to go, then we'll go together
Hold on
Hold on

And we get to that gate of light, we'll have to ask
Why did it sweep double creek so completely?

If we have to go, then we'll go together
If we have to go, then we'll go together
Hold on
