Waves beneath the surface Winds from darker times Clouds of a thousand nightmares Roll thunder though my mind Words once free and flowing Turned guarded and unkind They form the storm that breaks the shore around them Black tide The undertow of what was known will drown you Once queen, now ruthless slayer Brings tempest to the seas Conscripts the willing sailor And brings him to his knees Be wary on these waters! Keep watch from every side The chart your heart once followed now forsaken Black tide The undertow of what was known will drown you She will beg you for all you can be As you bargain for your liberty She will break you then she'll cast you away The tempest lives for the darkest of days I have fallen, into the eye of the storm Tempest... vile tempest
