A Storm to Come - Lyrics - Van Canto

There's a land I'll take you to A land where imagination rules Take you away from here Where Angels fear to tread Where wrong is right instead We don't care what they say A blazing star light ahead We are floating away What they don't have is what we'll get A land of imagination Do you remember us, remember us at all remember us at all Peer, do you remember us, remember us at all remember me at all [MESSENGERS] Winds of the world unite in grief Black and heavy rain ordered to this very place in time To sweep the withered leaves A storm to come A storm is near Join in or hide in fear RakkaTakka RakkaTa [THE GRIEFING PARTY] Mercy be with us and peace within, granted by the one who is and who was and who eternally will be, our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, Amen [MESSENGERS] Winds of the world unite in grief Black and heavy rain ordered to this very place in time sweep the withered leaves A storm to come The storm is near Join in or hide in fear RakkaTakka RakkaTa [PRIEST (Button-Maker)] Lord, grant us your unquestioning mercy Lord, look upon us with your eternal grace Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil for thou art with me. Thy rod and thy staff comfort me. And it is written by the Prophet Jesaja: Behold, I will send a messenger, John, to prepare the way of the Lord. We come from dust, We return to dust. John Gynt, rest in peace In Nomine Patre et Filii et Spiritus Sancti, Amen. [PEER (adult)] Staring into this deep black pit In his hand a pile of dust not understanding it One loving look, the last My father was a gambler And we were his final bet Once he put his cards on the table our destiny was met Father where’re you going now why did you gamble our luck away no love for us, for me too easy to betray? Soon he will go his own way deal the cards of his own play Father, thank you for Nothing! John Gynt rest in peace! [MESSENGERS] Winds of the world unite in grief Black and heavy rain ordered to this very place in time A storm to come The storm is near Come along or run in fear RakkaTakka RakkaTa [PEER (adult)] Please mother what’s going on They’re supposed to be our friends why don’t they help us instead they kick us out Justice rules from above No money no love It is as simple as that Just do not look back Building a fortress around my heart with friends of my own creation never will betrayal form part in my demon nation [ÅSE] Everything I will endure suffer without lamentation humility will be my cure I will not plead I will not question for my son just for him from now on every year eternal winters long like a word like a breeze like a song [PEER] Mother? Mother! [MESSENGERS] Winds of the world rejoice Black and heavy rain ordered to this very place in time A storm to come The storm is here Come along or run in fear The elementary force Ruthless, unafraid We are the rulers of the world A storm to come The storm is here Come along or run in fear [PEER (young adult)] So I spread my wings out wide Over mountain‘s ridge the storm I ride dragons, demons, faithful friends know them at my side Thus I make the world my subject ruthless, unafraid And I play for my own sake the very game which I create I know you and your games yet I accept but rules to my aims And so I spread my wings out wide Over mountain‘s ridge the storm I ride dragons, demons, faithful friends know and trust them at my side I subject the world to my rule ruthless and unafraid And I play for my own sake the very game which I create I know you, I know your games I accept but rules to my aims This is how I make the world my claim
