[Verse 1]

A deafening sound echoed through the mist

A warm breeze gave the choice of silence to the wind

But the wind grabbed the water to summon the black clouds of the sky

And to open up the eyes of the grieving heaven


[Verse 2]

Leaving the depths to quench the thirst with rain

A drink from the hands that created the past

Rain upsets the cold surface

Wakes what sleeps beneath the ocean floor

Tantrum rises from it's tidal sleep

To crack the surface of this very earth

Water, the bringer of strength to release the wave

Storm bursts out from the giant's mouth


[Chorus]

When salt danced with the flames

The ocean and the sky spoke with fire

No sign of light at the horizon

Orion has faded, torn from above


[Post-Chorus]

Fell down from the heavens

To be lost in the storm (To be lost in the storm)

Descended are the sons of the sky

To repel the assailing wave


[Bridge]

The power of two wills divided by hate

In the last minutes of the tide

The hands of the foe held the savior's throat

The hands of the foe held the savior's throat


[Verse 3]

A gathering to summon the dark hunter

Bursting into flames, cutting their strings from the heavens to fall

Into a towering battle between the stars and the sea

Face to face, the hunter stared into the storm


[Chorus]

When salt danced with the flames

The ocean and the sky spoke with fire

No sign of light at the horizon

Orion has faded, torn from above


[Post-Chorus]

Fell down from the heavens

To be lost in the storm

Descended are the sons of the sky

To repel the assailing wave
