The Wind That Shapes The Land

(album: Abyss - 2020)

Somehow I find myself standing on the edge of
Something that I desperately need
From this moment I will not be the same
No more crying for the things I can't change

Here I will put this tale to rest
Finish what I started long ago
And though it may not be the ending I wish
Only victory can bring me home

Come, I won't wait for long
I was never your
Slave for all eternity
And now here we stand face to face

Feel the ground
Crashing all around
Fight to fan the flame
Ignite the battle rage
Tear the sky
Watch the boulders fly
As the mountain scape
Crumbles in her wake

So, you've come to prove yourself
Despite the lies you tell
You know you won't prevail
And I, most powerful of all
Have come to see you fall
You'll find no mercy here

Search within
Uncover the will to win
Turn against the tide that washes o'er
Find the strength
To fall and rise again
Open up the gates, unleash the force

I am the wind that shapes the land
Old as time and twice as strong
Oceans arise at my command
I alone can carry on

To break her chains

Forward I push on into the storm surrounding me
I await her strike
Could it be she's reached the pinnacle now

Silence as I stand within the eye
In this hurricane of her design
And watch as I drain the light from inside
Now at last I see what must be done and so I fly

Firm within my grasp I hold the spark and shatter it
See her eyes go dark
Could it be I've finally won the war now

I see the clouds are gone
The storm that raged is quiet once again
I feel the stars above
Shining on the fragments that remain

Search within
Uncover the will to win
Turn against the tide that washes o'er
Find the strength
To fall and rise again
Open up the gates, unleash the force

I am the wind that shapes the land
Old as time and twice as strong
Oceans arise at my command
I alone can carry on

No, what is this I see
Broken before me
Once again I pay the price
I've nothing without sacrifice
