Verbatim

Go ahead and rally your troops Perhaps that's exactly what we were meant to do Live each of our truths To its fullest extent So everyone has a moment To be represented To be called to arms... We sounded the alarm Like sirens calling out in the momentary calm But we are the tempest And that's why the darkness fears us Tears us in two As we dove into the depths of duality The reality is We've been here before And I'm not afraid to look for you in the eye of the storm Our storm Collected water molecules permeating The cold fronts of miscommunicating We've never needed words to say Relay the echoes throughout our brains The fact remains We've been through much more than the onslaught of this physical plane
