Tempest
It's only after we've lost everything
That we're free to do anything
But do we have free will or is our path set?
I don't believe in destiny
There's no control in that life
Does the walker choose the path?
Or the path the walker?
It's not in the stars to hold our destiny
But in ourselves
From what I've tasted of desire
I hold with those who favour fire
We know what we are
But know not what we may be
You've been created to make a difference
You have within you the power to change the world
Long have I waited for the calm
The weightlessness of being, the silent cleanse
But there was none to be had and much less to be given
(Perhaps I have always been the storm)
When the tempest rages
When the thunders roar and the lightning blaze
Around us the truly brave stand firm
I would turn back time
I would change the world
(I'll sacrifice it all just for you)
From what I've tasted of desire
I hold with those who favour fire
We know what we are
But know not what we may be
You can't change what people are
Without destroying who they were
(Without destroying who they were)
(Without destroying who they were)
The wings of a butterfly watch over me
I see through the storm like a perfect memory
I wish I could stay in this moment forever
But then it wouldn't be a moment
From what I've tasted of desire
I hold with those who favour fire
You can't change what people are
Without destroying who they were
I wish I could stay in this moment forever
Without destroying who you were
