Storm
Blackmore's Night Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The moon and sun in endless chase
Each in quiet surrender
while the other reigns the sky
The midnight hour begins to laugh
A summer evening's epitaph
The winds are getting crazy
As the storm begins to rise
Wild were the winds that came
In the thunder and the rain
Nothing ever could contain
The rising of the storm
In the wings of ebony
Darkened waves fill the trees
Wild winds of warning
Echo through the air
Follow the storm now, I've got to get out of here
Follow the storm as you take to the sky
Follow the storm now it's all so crystal clear,
Follow the storm as the storm begins to rise
She seems to come from everywhere
Welcome to the dragon's lair
Fingers running through your hair
She asks you out to play
For all of nature's sorcery
The most bewitching entity
Hell can have no fury
Like the rising of the storm
Follow the storm now, I've got to get out of here
Follow the storm as you take to the sky
Follow the storm now it's all so crystal clear,
Follow the storm as the storm begins to rise
Follow the storm now, I've got to get out of here
Follow the storm as you take to the sky
Follow the storm now it's all so crystal clear,
Follow the storm as the storm begins to rise
As the storm begins to rise
The lyrics of Blackmore's Night's song The Storm paint a vivid picture of a natural phenomenon. The song depicts a timeless and forgotten place where the moon and the sun are in endless chase, each surrendering to the other to reign the sky. However, as the midnight hour approaches, a summer evening's epitaph is sung and the winds begin to get crazy. The storm starts to rise, and nothing can contain it. Darkened waves fill the trees, and wild winds of warning echo through the air. The dragon's lair seemingly appears out of nowhere, and with fingers running through your hair, you are asked to play. The rising of the storm seems like a bewitching entity, and nothing can contain its fury.
The lyrics can be interpreted in many ways, but their essence is the portrayal of the power and beauty of nature's wrath. The stormy weather is presented as a captivating entity that enchants and mystifies us with its raw energy. The song calls to follow the storm, to take to the sky, and to witness the magic of the rising storm. The lyrics are filled with imagery and metaphors, which help in creating an imaginative and immersive experience for the listener.
