Caught in a tempest
Winds of fate whipping
I can only give my best
So long as I keep willing

~

I try to claw my way free
Demons clutch at my ankles
I long for fields so serene
As the past binds me in shackles

~

Embers and ashes in the air
Stone and rock as far as sight
Now is not the time for fair
For life, I must now fight

~

Monsters claw at my flesh
Carving at my bare soul
Real or not, I don’t guess
As I fight on the coals

~

Light shines on me as I dance
To the song of woe and brood
Even as I hold my stance
I will see this night through

~

Caught in this tempest
Winds of fate and binds
I will give only my best
As I see you on the other side
