Tempest

When your brother, the wind, turns against you And the rising storm roils the waves When the mountain blue on the distant shore Is dimmed by raging waters Your horizon is lost When your sister, the wind, turns against you And the trees are torn from their roots When the ancient oaks of the forest Come crashing down to the ground But when darkness prevails All hope is lost And emptiness conquers all Dims the fire in your heart The dead will come to your aid And the wise shall stand by your side When you turn against yourself You will bury each hope and dream All blessings will turn to curses As the fire in your heart It flickers soon to go out But when darkness prevails All hope is lost And emptiness conquers all Dims the fire in your heart The dead will come to your aid And the wise shall stand by your side They are of your tribe and your nation Who have come for the aid of their kin Amassed their ancient wisdom All of their arts appended They have brought you here today And will usher you into tomorrow You'll see the mountain blue Glimmering in the distance Waiting for you It's looking at you It sees your life It's looking at you It knows your death See the horizon is clearing The acorn takes root and grows The curses turn to blessings Light a fire in your heart The dead have come to your aid And the wise now stand by your side They are of your tribe and your nation And the wise now stand by your side They are of your tribe and your nation And the wise now stand by your side
