Tempest

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

Take

Out the stories

They’ve put into your mind and brace

For the glory

As you stare into the sky.. The sky beneath

I know you can’t be tired

Lay there

Stare at the ceiling

And switch back to your time

Just go ahead now try and taste it

I know it should be ripe

Thrust

Ahead

Turning in circles

Been caught in a stasis

The ancient arrival

Cut to the end

I’d like to be taken

Apart from the inside

Then spit through the cycle right to the end

I wonder just how you shaped it

To get back to your prize

Thrust

Ahead

Turning in circles

Been caught in a stasis

The ancient arrival

Cut to the end

I’d like to be taken

Apart from the inside

Then spit through the cycle right to the end

Wake for the glory

I know you can’t be

TIRED

Turning in circles

Been caught in a stasis

The ancient arrival

Cut to the end

I’d like to be taken

Apart from the inside

Then spit through the cycle right to the end

Inside

Turning in circles

Been caught in a stasis

I want you to take me

Apart from the inside

Right to the end
