Whirlwind

I felt a shiver on the storm path
The waiting time is over
Strange warbands at the tribe hearth
As the voices call for vengeance
I saw which was the winning side
But still I joined the other
And I'm in love with every strange unfolding day As the storm begins to break cover!

So let the whirlwind blow
- through the ice, through the melting melting snows

• across the freezing skies and the tiny lights below

And so we shutter up the doorways
As the ripples move towards us
For a moment stop breathing
She wakes and stirs beneath our feet
The Empire tries to stand its ground
While every battle front is shifting
They still believe that they can hold the reins But then they've got no sense of history

So let the whirlwind blow
- through the ice, through the melting melting snows

• across the freezing skies and the tiny lights below
• the water seething, bubbling out of control
• so come on take my hand and we'll fly, fly, fly

A Red Priest talks to an empty room
The tortured mountains quicken
Moonson staggers round in a punchdrunk daze Doesn't understand what hit him
I saw which was the winning side
But still I joined the other
And I'm in love with every strange unfolding day As the storm begins to break cover!

Let the whirlwind blow
- through the ice, the melting melting snows

• across the freezing skies and the tiny lights below
• the waters seething, bubbling out of control
• we watch the oceans rise and the Empire starts to fall
• across the freezing skies until the lights go out below
