Enjoy the last few minutes before chaos is born?
Stare down the lightning that is to come
Be bigger that the thunder that shoots louder than a gun
Do you panic? Release all the fear until you have none left?
Bite through your nails leave your sweat glands bereft?
It may not be intentional, but it's fight or flight
And you have to wait knowing things wont be alright
Some plan. Use the extra time merely as an extension
Build a shelter that might collapse on the slightest provocation
Plot and scheme how to take the storm down
Beware, dear storm, a rival has walked into town
Here is a fact. The storm will one day arrive with a crash
But the old adage holds true - it too will pass
And while I don't dispute that the storm will bring harm
Sometimes you still need to enjoy the days that are calm
Inspiration - the intro of Aerials by System of a Down. The whole song is beautiful, but the chilling, slowly rising intro is what inspired the emotions here.
