A Storm To Come
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.
There's a land I'll take you to
A land where imagination rules
Take you way from here
Where angels feared a thread
Where wrong is right instead
Don't care what they say
A blaze start right ahead
We are floating away
What they don't have is what will get
A land of imagination
Don't you remember us, remember us at all?
Remember us at all
Do you remember us, remember us at all?
Remember me at all
Winds of the world unite in grief
Black and heavy rain
Ordered to this very place in time
To sweep the withered leaves
A storm to come
The storm is near
Join in or hide in fear
Rakkatakka rakkata
Mercy be with us and peace within
Granted by the one who is and who was
And who eternally will be
Our Lord and savior Jesus Christ, amen!
Winds of the world unite in grief
Black and heavy rain
Ordered to this very place in time
Sweep withered leaves
A storm to come
The storm is near
Join in or hide in fear
Lord!
Lord, grant us your unquestioning mercy
Lord, look upon us with your eternal grace
Yea though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death
I will fear no evil for thou art with me
Thy rod and thy staff comfort me
And it is written by the prophet Jesaja
Behold, I will send a messenger, John
To prepare the way of the Lord
We come from dust,
We return to dust.
John Gynt, rest in peace
In nomine patre et filii
Et spiritus sancti, amen.
Staring into this deep black pit
In his hand a pile of dust
Not understanding it
One loving look, the last
My father was a gambler
And we were his final bet
Once he put his cards on the table
Our destiny was met
Father where're you going now?
Why did you gamble our luck away?
No love for us, for me
Too easy to betray
Soon he will go his own way
Deal the cards of his own play
(John Gynt rest in peace!)
Father, thank you for nothing!
Winds of the world unite in grief
Black and heavy rain
Ordered to this very place in time
A storm to come
The storm is near
Come along or run in fear
Please, mother, what's going on?
They're supposed to be our friends
Why don't they help us?
Instead they kick us out
Justice rules from above
No money, no love
It is as simple as that
Just do not look back
Building a fortress around my heart
With friends of my own creation
Never will betrayal form part
In my demon nation
Everything I will endure
Suffer without lamentation
Humility will be my cure
I will not plead
I will not question
For my son
Just for him
From now on every year
Eternal winters long
Like a word
Like a breeze (mother!)
Like a song (mother!)
Winds of the world rejoice
Black and heavy rain
Ordered to this very place in time
A storm to come
The storm is near
Come along or run in fear
The elementary force
Ruthless, unafraid
We are the rulers of the world
A storm to come
The storm is near
Come along or run in fear
So I spread my wings out wide
Over mountain's ridge the storm I ride
Dragons, demons, faithful friends
Know them at my side
I make the world my subject
Ruthless, unafraid
And I play for my own sake
The very game which I create
I know you and your games
Yet I accept but rules to my aims
And so I spread my wings out wide
Over mountain's ridge the storm I ride
Dragons, demons, faithful friends
Know and trust them at my side
I subject the world to my rule
Ruthless and unafraid
And I play for my own sake
The very game which I create
I know you, I know your games
I accept but rules to my aims
This is how I make the world my claim
