This song is a reckoning with those that use their influence to control the mainstream narrative, telling the masses everything will be fine; they lull us in with their ruse promising tranquility, while it is plain for all to see that a storm is coming.
All the while not being accountable for their actions.
When caught in their lies, they act all surprised and their Teflon coat deflects the blame to the next bastard in line.
In the end, their control is just a delusion, they are victim of their own certainty and unable to question what they think to be true, hence not being able to ever grow.
In the end, the tempest will be blameless, and no feeble word or atonement will stop it.
[Intro]
Keep, keep
Keep, keep, keep it calm
Keep, keep calm
Keep, keep it, keep it calm
Keep, keep calm
Keep, keep, keep calm
Fuck, here we go again
[Verse 1]
Heat lightning flash, but don't blink
Misleading, tranquility ruse
You're gonna happen again
That's what I think
Follow the evidence
Look it dead in the eye, you are darkness
Trying to lull us in, before the havoc begins
Into a dubious state of serenity
Acting all surprised when you're caught in the lie
We know better
It's not unlike you
It's not unlike you
We know your nature
[Verse 2]
Blame it all on the bastards when you're blowing out
Shame on you, shame on you now
No amount of wind could begin to cover up
Your petulant stench and demeanor
Calm as cookies and cream, so it seems
We're not buying your dubious state of serenity
Acting all surprised when you're caught in the lie
We know better
It's not unlike you
It's not unlike you
We know your nature
[Bridge]
Calm before the torrent comes
Calm before the torrent comes
Calm before the torrent comes
Calm before the tempest comes to reign all over
[Verse 3]
Disputing intentions invites devastation
A tempest must be true to its nature
A tempest must be just that
A tempest must be just that
A tempest must be just that
A tempest must be just that
A tempest must be just that
A tempest must be just that
A tempest must be just that
A tempest must be just that
[Verse 4]
Control your delusion
Insane and striking at random
Victim of your certainty
And therefore, your doubt's not an option
Blameless, the tempest will be just that
So try as you may, feeble, your attempt to atone
Your words to erase all the damage cannot
[Outro]
A tempest must be just that
A tempest must be just that
A tempest must be just that
A tempest must be just that
