Fen - Lashed By Storm lyrics

rate me

Flayed by the driving rain, of black clouds scud across the sky, <br />

The world roars with rage and the very ground trembles.<br />

I watch as lightening spears the darkness, <br />

The stark outline of the trees stripped bare by winters ravaging chill.<br />

<br />

Wind screams, cutting the knives of sharpened frost, <br />

As I raise my arms to embrace the assault, <br />

All that lives cowers in the shadow of elemental wrath, <br />

Yet I stand and roar my challenge to the maelstrom.<br />

<br />

Mountains rear in the darkness, <br />

Colossal megaliths of malediction's promise, <br />

Looming, immense, all knowing, <br />

Stoic against the fury of the storm.<br />

<br />

The raging tempest shrieks of hatred, <br />

Bunched clouds toil with the need to destroy, <br />

But I will remain unmoved in the face of the assault.<br />

I welcome the pain of nature's vengeance.<br />

Eyes clenched shut, <br />

The freezing wind and stinging waters<br />

Fear my skin and slake the thirst in my yearning soul, <br />

Never have I felt so alive, <br />

Every nerve tingles, every sense razor-keen, <br />

<br />

This frail, thin, stooped prison of flesh, <br />

Punished and invigorated.<br />

<br />

Crushed into the sodden earth.<br />

<br />

And therein will remain forever.
