The Tempest

When the world has turned its back on you
And all you knew has turned to lies
When your friends have turned to foes and you
Are left to realize
That the world that once was colorful
Has faded straight to black
And nothing you can say or do
Will repair that horn that's cracked

There's a tempest raging within you
There's a tempest raging within you

And at your darkest moment
As your heart is full of rage
It feels as if your mind and soul
Are trapped within a cage
And someone darkly offers up
Exactly what you seek
And you know you would do anything
Despite the havoc you could wreak

There's a tempest raging within you
There's a tempest raging within you

And after worlds have fallen at your hooves
Through dust and crumbling stone
The one that you had served and trust
Has taken the stolen throne
But corruption is a persistent flaw
That power amplifies
And the promises he made are now
Exposed as nasty lies

There's a tempest raging within you
There's a tempest raging within you

But despite the many, many times
You've had to bear this cost
And the hurt and rage that well inside
And all the tears you've lost
Great honor and nobility
Were shown from your sacrifice
To preserve a future for us all
At the ultimate personal price

The tempest lives within you
Yes, the tempest lives within you

A Tempest with destructive power
Can be examined once again
As a storm welcomed by summer's drought
After months without the rain
And just as flowers bloom from fields
That were burned to tepid ash
A spark within you returns to us
Made better from her past

The tempest lives within you
The tempest lives within you
Yes, the tempest lives within you
The Tempest lives
Within you
