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 fears flow deep

Wind whips the shallows as I lay the path of resistence

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, horizons 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 into night

Though our prison was only a dream

Only after it's over we see

What does this wandering storm have in store?
