Storm
Procussions Lyrics

hey.....the war is on outside
There is a war happening outside of our immediate surroundings.

this ain't a soundclash turn it up high say hey.....
This is not a typical competition, turn up the volume and make some noise in support of our cause.

fists up toward the the night sky
Raise our fists towards the sky in solidarity.

and light it up with a battle cry
Make a loud and fierce proclamation of our unity or intention to fight.

my people....you hear the rain coming
Attention, fellow people, can you hear the approaching storm?

you gonna stand fast, or just keep running
Are you willing to stay strong and fight, or will you flee?

hey....this life is a long fight
This life is a continuous struggle.

even when the lightening strikes
Even when things get incredibly difficult.

i've got my armor and artillery
I am fully equipped and prepared for battle.

hands on a weapon in fact that's ready to attack all enemies
I have a weapon that is prepared to attack all my foes.

living with a life given back to the creator
I am living a life that has been given to me by the creator.

an out of shape soldier in a swamp full of gators
I am like an ill-prepared soldier fighting in a treacherous environment.

on the mission i've been given it's deep
My mission is a profound one that requires my full attention.

i'm forgiven so i've got an innervision of peace
I have been forgiven so I see peace as a realistic possibility.

in the rhythm of life i breathe
I live life in a way that gives me a natural sense of rhythm.

i'm fighting with a fire inside that burns brighter
There is a fire within me that grows more powerful as I fight.

till the final bell rings
I will continue fighting until the very end.

I was born in a violent storm in an endless fight between right and wrong
My birth coincided with a period of intense conflict between good and evil.

i write songs like letters from war
My songwriting is similar to that of writing letters from a battlefield.

stuff a message in a bottle then i send it to shore
I encapsulate a message within a song and send it out to the world.

encouragement for the men and woman who lost steam
My songs aim to motivate and inspire individuals who have lost motivation.

rebel music for my people who been swimming upstream
My music is a symbol of rebellion for those who feel like they are being forced against the current.

yo some things are not what they seem
Some things are not what they appear to be on the surface.

who you thought was the peasant might just be the king
The person you thought was of lowly status could actually be quite powerful.

I'm learning total humility brought by humidity
I am humbled by the humidity in my environment.

frustration draining to the sides of my face
My frustration is visibly apparent on my face.

feel cry from your grace tears seep into my cheek
I feel an overwhelming sense of grace, causing tears to run down my cheeks.

every crease in my face is a stroke of war paint
Every line on my face represents a memory or battle that I have faced.

just battlefield journalist capturing a picture of this
I am like a journalist reporting from the middle of a warzone.

combat mission from a complex prison
I am on a mission that is complex and difficult to execute, as if I am in a prison.

wage war on my inner that's riddled with imperfection
I am battling the flaws within me.

my sword swung high as the storm subsides
I am ready to fight with everything I have until the storm of conflict subsides.

i was not made just so i could decay
I believe that my existence has a greater purpose than simply to decay or deteriorate over time.

these songs aren't played just so we can get paid
I don't create music solely for monetary gain.

i walk in the way and the truth til the light works through me
I walk in the path of truth and light until it permeates within me and shines through me.

i ain't afraid to say the word beauty
I have no fear in acknowledging and discussing the notion of beauty.

i ain't afraid to be odd
I am not afraid of diverging from established norms, or being an outlier in society.

i know the path is hard but somehow im getting closer to god
I understand the path is difficult, but I believe it is leading me towards a higher understanding of God.

knowing by His scars i am healed I kneel in the storm
I am aware that I have been healed through His scars, and thus kneel in the midst of the battle.
