Tempest

All I heard was but a voice in a gentle rainfall
A faint and far away sound
All I felt was but an unseen weight
Was a presence waiting there
Waiting always there
All I sensed was something lurking underneath the surface
A faint and far away fear.

Hidden underground
Hidden underground
Somewhere in the dark
In the daily grind all around.

All I smelled was but the scent of water moving
A giant wave on the sea
You should better learn to swim now
Some seas are too deep now
Certain waves are way too high.

It's a serpent's strike
When you're not prepared
It's a scary height
When you can't look down
It's the endless night
When you wait for the dawn.

It's something you felt
Deep inside of you
Something you denied
And you could not face
It's the cry for hope
When there's no hope at all.

“There's no sense looking at the dark side…”

From out of nowhere
From out of a clear sky
When darkness descends and all love turns to ashes
In this very moment
We don't own a thing
Seems like everything's lost but our voice in the roaring.

Just as if there is a sad god tearing at you
Draining all life from your heart.

Everything we own
Everything we know
Everything we hold
Everything to lose.

From out of somewhere
From out of a clear sky
When darkness descends and all life turns to ashes
In this very moment
We don't know a thing
Seems like everything's lost but a voice in the roaring.

I'll never forget the old look on your face
When the storm and the waves took your smile away from me
Suddenly from me
So far away from me.

(x4) Still we are
Still we are
Running away from the storm
Throwing our voice ‘gainst the roaring.

I'll never forget the old look on your face
When the storm and the waves took your smile away from me
In this very moment
We don't own a thing
Seems like everything's lost but our voice in the roaring.
