Tempest Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Take out the stories
They've put into your mind
And brace for the glory
As you stare into the sky...
The sky beneath
I know you can't be tired...
[Verse 2]
Lay there, stare at the ceiling
And switch back to your time
Just go ahead and try and taste it
I know it should be ripe...
[Pre-Chorus]
Thrust... ahead
[Chorus]
Turning in circles
Been caught in a stasis
The ancient arrival
Cut to the end
I'd like to be taken
Apart from the inside
Then spit through the cycle
Right to the end
Take out the stories
They've put into your mind
And brace for the glory
As you stare into the sky...
The sky beneath
I know you can't be tired...
[Verse 2]
Lay there, stare at the ceiling
And switch back to your time
Just go ahead and try and taste it
I know it should be ripe...
[Pre-Chorus]
Thrust... ahead
[Chorus]
Turning in circles
Been caught in a stasis
The ancient arrival
Cut to the end
I'd like to be taken
Apart from the inside
Then spit through the cycle
Right to the end
[Verse 3]
I wonder just how you shaped it
To get back to your prize...
[Pre-Chorus]
Thrust... ahead
[Chorus]
Turning in circles
Been caught in a stasis
The ancient arrival
Cut to the end
I'd like to be taken
Apart from the inside
Then spit through the cycle
Right to the end
[Bridge]
Wake for the glory
I know you can't be tired!
[Instrumental Interlude]
[Chorus]
Turning in circles
Been caught in a stasis
The ancient arrival
Cut to the end
I'd like you to take me
Apart from the inside
Then spit through the cycle
Right to the end
I wonder just how you shaped it
To get back to your prize...
[Pre-Chorus]
Thrust... ahead
[Chorus]
Turning in circles
Been caught in a stasis
The ancient arrival
Cut to the end
I'd like to be taken
Apart from the inside
Then spit through the cycle
Right to the end
[Bridge]
Wake for the glory
I know you can't be tired!
[Instrumental Interlude]
[Chorus]
Turning in circles
Been caught in a stasis
The ancient arrival
Cut to the end
I'd like you to take me
Apart from the inside
Then spit through the cycle
Right to the end
[Post-Chorus]
Inside, inside, inside
Turning in circles
Been caught in a stasis
(Inside, inside, inside)
I want you to take me
Apart from the inside
Right to the end
[Instrumental Outro]
Inside, inside, inside
Turning in circles
Been caught in a stasis
(Inside, inside, inside)
I want you to take me
Apart from the inside
Right to the end
[Instrumental Outro]
