Taming The Storm

It was a dark and stormy night
Up high in the tangle of the mind
There was confusion and
malevolent atmospheres
like never before
It was make or break time
Even emptiness still has force within
so don't feel so alone as you drift
collide and struggle with this ride
Even the darkest void is not empty
Hypnotised by the fires
Smothered by the smoke
Overwhelmed by the mountain ahead
But defeated I will never be
But defeated I will never be
But defeated I will never be
Allow yourself
to remain unharmed
Unarm your mind
Don't be on the defensive
Open yourself
You never know how life will surprise
Close your eyes
Be transported into new realms
Even emptiness still has force within
so don't feel so alone as you drift
and you collide and struggle in this ride
Even the darkest void is not empty
Even the darkest void is not empty.

The immensity of the storm makes me cry,
with joy, fear, revelation.
Take a moment
then you will really realise the magnitude of it all...

Every single thought
All the words we said or penned
Any sounds from every layer of noise
Led to this precise moment now
Never to allow insignificance
on unworldly levels deter
from finding solace and finding peace
I am nothing, yet all I have
Buried by my own hand
My mind was smashed apart
But the human resolve is sublime
Remember this
Even when things are at their worst
Literal infinity surrounds
An endless inspiration
for all moments of all time
My world was in abject ruin
I begged for it all to end
Even at the final precipice
I still could not give in
An endless space
to discover and roam within
Always look up and out
Pure blackness inside
but still as bright as I can be
You have resolve to call on
You just have to remember
Always remember
Always remember
I will never allow insignificance
on unworldly levels deter me
from finding solace and peace
I am nothing, yet all I have
My world was in abject ruin
I begged for it all to just end
I was all on my own
I am nothing, yet all I have
My world was in abject ruin
Even at the final moment
I still could not give in
The magnitude
of everything
is something
is everything
I have solace
I have peace
I have everything I need
In literal infinity.

The hurricane struck
and survivors were sparce
but we held on
and found our way home
We battled through
the waves of debris
Damage like this
I have never known
Imagine being in the middle
of swirling chaos
It was far worse
than any nightmare I ever had
The hurricane struck
and survivors were scarce
but we held on
and found our way home
The chaos of the chase
The strength of the monsters
only served to make us more resilient
in the face of adversity
In the face of adversity.
Far away - Nothing to fear
Endless space - Solitude
Far beyond - Realms of darkness
Unimagined - Calm
We tamed the storm
and found ourselves
Immersed in swirls
of mighty splendour.

Thumping, pulsing industrial techno with dark & edgy ambience. I love the distorted metal-like vocal elements. If they remade Akira, this release would be a perfect score!
