Lyrics

hard to tell

or recognise a sign

to see me through

a warning sign

first the thunder

satisfied, if the past it will not lie

then the storm

torn assunder

the future you and I get blown away

in the storm

in a lifetime

and as the rain it falls

begin again, as the storm breaks through

heavy in my heart

believe the light in you

so the light shines in you

without color, faded and worn

torn asunder in the storm

unless the sound has faded from your soul

unless it disappears

first the thunder

selfish storm

then the storm

hold on the inside

torn asunder

one life

in the storm

in a lifetime

in a lifetime
