“The Tempest Within”
[Opening Verse] (Soft, brooding)
Oh, anger, thy name, a fire untamed,
A shadow cast, a soul inflamed.
Thy touch ignites the aching deep,
A storm of pain I dare not keep.
[Bridge] (Rising tension)
Through broken skies and bitter rain,
You rise unbidden, fueled by pain.
Yet in your wrath, a truth is found,
A voice once lost, a cry unbound.
[Chorus] (Powerful, soaring)
The tempest roars, the heavens break,
A raging sea, the earth will quake.
Yet in the chaos, light will gleam,
A soul reborn within the stream.
Oh, anger wild, my strength, my strife,
You forge the edge of my new life.
[Verse 2] (Building intensity)
Oh, anger, thy pulse, a pounding drum,
A war within where fears succumb.
Your flames consume, yet clear the way,
For ash must fall for dawn to stay.
[Verse 3] (Yearning resolve)
Oh, anger, thy force, both curse and guide,
A tide that turns, a place to hide.
But in your grip, I find my core,
And learn to heal what hurt before.
[Interlude] (Instrumental, turbulent)
(Strings swell and fall, mirroring the rise and fall of inner turmoil.)
[Final Verse] (Triumphant release)
Oh, anger, thou art the crucible’s fire,
That burns away my low desire.
In smoldering ashes, I now stand,
With clearer eyes and steadier hand.
[Closing Chorus] (Soaring hope)
The tempest fades, the skies turn clear,
A quiet strength replaces fear.
For in the fury, I have grown,
A power claimed, a truth my own.
Oh, anger fierce, my soul’s refrain,
Your storm has passed, yet I remain.
[Closing Note] (Soft, resolved)
Your storm has passed… yet I remain.
