The Tempest

As the evening light arrives, a veil across the atmosphere
As the rain and clouds align, we hear the storm
The thunder rolls
The lightning shakes the sky
The thunder calls you to your home

Through the clouds, behind the hills
All at once the sky is filled
A golden hour, a burning light
Just keep it burning through the night
A shadow hangs over your door
Just cast it off and breathe once more
And just because the sun is gone
You will see another dawn

As the rainfall crashes down, and washes all the life away
With nothing left to grow, and no one left to see
The thunder rolls
As all this starts again
The thunder heralds a new dawn
