Storm
The Murderous Mistake Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

No sun shines,
Rain drops slightly
I'm waiting for the storm tonight.
The trees stand still
And no bird's singing
I'm waiting for the Storm tonight.

No sun shines inside of me
Rain drops slowly into my heart
I'm waiting for the storm tonight
The tree of life is black
The birds of prey, they have no song
I'm waiting for the storm tonight

The air is thick,
My blood is boiling, my heart electrifies
I'm waiting for the Storm tonight.
No wind comes up,
The light disappears - darkness everywhere,
my soul - it feels so cold.

No sun shines...

The air is thick, my blood is boiling,




My heart electrifies,
I'm waiting for the dreadful storm tonight.
