The Storm
Crimson Sun Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Lost control of myself
It was just too much to take
Like poison it burns
The energy that dwells within

I can't take this anymore
The shadow that's lurking inside
Releasing this beast

Is the only way survive

Free of it all
Nothing can bring me down
Nothing to lose
There's no calm before the storm
Get taste of this hate
You better run or hide
Nothing to lose
There's no calm before the storm

There's no silver linings
No rays of light shining through
When the last drop falls
There is no turning back

Free of it all
Nothing can bring me down
Nothing to lose
There's no calm before the storm
Get taste of this hate
You better run or hide
Nothing to lose
There's no calm before the storm

Like a gathering of clouds this anger grows in me
Soon the rain is pouring down soaking all in its path

Free of it all
Nothing can bring me down
Nothing to lose
There's no calm before the storm
Get taste of this hate
You better run or hide

Nothing to lose
There's no calm before the storm
