Tempest

In time, you will bend to my will, and you'll know

All the reasons for your bleak existence

Though it's taken so long just to see

You've been lost in me

Suffering through all the perils that I lay before you

There's nowhere left for you to turn

Now close your eyes and embrace this illusion

While you burn

Your penance is to follow me into these shadows

Never knowing if you will return

And our fathers lie dormant in sorrow

As the tears flow deep

Wind whips the shallows as I lay the path of resistance

Who says martyrs never learn?

Now it's all you can do but surrender

While the vortex turns

When the storm comes rushing in

And there's nowhere left to turn

In the eye, will show the truth

That we've yet to learn

When there's no one left to blame

And now all your will is gone

You'll look back, and you will see

Where you went wrong

This is now the final hour

A tempest looms over our empty decaying lives

There's no way to stop the coming wave

Our star has descended, horizon now slipping away

When the storm comes rushing in

And there's nowhere left to turn

In the eye, will show the truth

That we've yet to learn

When there's no one left to blame

And now all your will is gone

You'll look back, and you will see

Where you went wrong

In the low dimming light

Slowly fading to night

Though our prison was only a dream

Only after it's over, we see

What does this wandering storm have in store?
