Riders of the Storm (2023)

Riders of the Storm

We ride the high tide
On foaming whipped waves
With the rain hitting hard yet we’ll always abide
We are strong, we are free
Now the wind picks up
Soon grows into unbouded rage
Between mountain sides
While thunderclaps echo in the valley

No matter what stand against us
We’ll never subdue
We are strong and stand as one
We stand as many, we stand as few
– Riders of the storm

We are careening in violent gusts
Spurred by screams from gulls in the thousands
The whitest of light in precipitous bursts
Instantly followed by rumble and quake
We set sail for the new day
That looms in the horizon
As the waves climb higher
We stay ever atop

[Chorus]

You cannot move forward
Without wind in your sails
We’ll never subdue
Just like the wind that’s bringing us forward
Thunderclaps ring in our ears
Downpour of hail
In thunder and in tailwinds
Under dark clouds we sail
When we raise our voice as one
No chains there are to bind us
Steering towards the eye of the storm
Leaving quieter waters behind us

Enfolded in slate veils
On our ascent to empyrean
With the wind in our sails
We bask in a brilliant trillion stars’ sheen

[Chorus]

Among the Living Dead

All these feelings
That blaze through my head
I sumble, yet remain undefeated
Wish that I could wake up the dead
My heart is black
As the darkest night
My eyes fills up with tears
As I strangle the pain I carry within
’Cause there’s too much to bear

Rinsed in the mist she was standing
Surrounded by a brilliant light
Easy moments of elegance
Her appearance enchant even the night

To the tones of another reality
I slowly step to where she now stands
Bewitched by the sweet spactacle that is her
I reach her my hands

[Chorus]
