Storm Seeker
ICS Vortex Lyrics

Restless I stare as the sea
I am staring at the sea with a sense of unease and anxiety.

The ocean is clam, inviting and free
Despite my restlessness, the sea seems peaceful and inviting, creating a sense of freedom.

Time has passed. Yes, another I was
The passing of time has changed me, but in the past, I was someone different.

For days in thundering storms I could blast
I was capable of enduring and overcoming powerful storms in the past.

Saltwater summons the dried
The sea water has a restorative power on dry, worn-out individuals.

A leatherback watching the tide, starry-eyed
Like a leatherback turtle entranced by the ebb and flow of the tides, I am captivated by the sea and its power.

Vessel in harbour now what to decide
I am faced with a decision of either staying in a safe harbor or venturing out into the open sea.

Should I go for a ride?
I am contemplating the excitement and challenge of taking a risky journey out into the stormy sea.

The die has been cast
I have made a decision and there is no turning back.

I link up the past and tie myself t the mast
I am connecting with my past, embracing it, and preparing to face the upcoming challenges that lie ahead.

Weigh the anchor junker tanker
I am leaving the harbor, setting sail, and venturing out into the open sea.

Flee to open ocean, wind in motion
I am escaping the safety of land and embracing the adventurous and unpredictable nature of the stormy sea.

Be the perfect storm for me
I want to find myself in the middle of a powerful storm and experience it fully.

Electric beings are illuminati
The energy and power of the storm is otherworldly and captivating, like an illuminating force.

The tempest holds the key
The storm is the key to unlocking a deeper understanding and connection to the natural world and oneself.

Bitten by the love for lightning
I am infatuated with lightning and the unpredictable, intense energy it brings.

Senses brightening
As I experience the storm, my senses are heightened and I am becoming more aware of my surroundings.

Here I go it is not unfrightening
I am about to embark on a dangerous and thrilling journey that is not without fear or risk.

Events they unfold as my boat lose control
As the storm intensifies, my control over my boat becomes increasingly tenuous and uncertain.

I am flanked on each side by white creatures pop-eyed
I am surrounded by the powerful and awe-inspiring waves that look like giant, wide-eyed creatures.

They stare, do not blink, some will float some will sink
The waves are unrelenting and unforgiving, and some boats will survive while others will not.

None of them speaks and the chaos path peaks
The storm is so intense that it has silenced the normally boisterous and vocal sea.

I feed on the volt the havoc and salt
Despite the danger, I am thriving on the energy, destruction, and power of the storm.

the storm is complete I have found what I seek
The storm has fulfilled my quest to find something transformative and invigorating.

Now I start to stare to transform unaware
The experience of the storm has caused me to undergo a transformation that I was not initially aware of.

My shipmates and I look the same
The experience has transformed me and my fellow sailors into something new and different.

The sea and the salt is to blame
I attribute the transformative experience to the natural elements of the sea and the saltwater.

You know the game
The experience of facing the sea is a universal and timeless one that many have gone through.

This fact of life I can no longer hide
The experience of the storm has revealed a fundamental truth about life that I can no longer ignore or deny.

Some say that I died
The experience has had such a profound impact on me that some people may perceive me as a different person, or even believe that I have died.

Untied from the mast
I have released my past and am now free to move forward.

By spectres living fast
I am being guided on my journey by spectral beings that move with a sense of urgency.

Sailing on and on in silence
I am continuing my journey, but now with a sense of peace and acceptance.

Ridden with the love the need we bleed for lightening
The desire and craving for the intense energy of the storm still courses through my veins and drives me forward.

Riders of the storm are frightening me
Despite my growing acceptance of the storm, there is still a sense of fear and awe that comes with facing its power.

I can no longer remember what it was like to stand tall on the shore
The transformative experience of the storm has fundamentally changed me and my perspective, leaving me unable to go back to the way things were before.
