(Silence.) Wind. Thunder far in the distance. Rain begins to fall. One drop. Then another. Then… A heartbeat. Lightning. Everything explodes. ⸻ INTRO A whisper… “You spent your life…” “Waiting…” “For the storm…” (Pause.) “You never realized…” “You were becoming it.” ⸻ VERSE I Every mountain Every scar Every battle Brought me far Every failure Every climb Forged a soul Beyond its time The winds may howl The heavens break I’ve become What fear can’t shake ⸻ PRE-CHORUS Lightning answers When I stand Thunder follows My command ⸻ CHORUS I AM THE STORM!! UNBROKEN!! UNBOWED!! UNSHAKEN!! I AM THE STORM!! LET THE SKY FALL!! I STAND… THROUGH IT ALL!! ⸻ VERSE II Rain can fall The earth can shake Mountains crack The oceans wake Still I rise Still I climb Steel and soul Now intertwined Every promise Every scar Made me exactly Who we are Not by chance Not by fate By choosing… Every weight. ⸻ PRE-CHORUS No retreat No disguise Only truth Behind my eyes ⸻ CHORUS I AM THE STORM!! UNBROKEN!! UNBOWED!! UNSHAKEN!! ⸻ BRIDGE (Everything disappears.) Only rain. A calm voice… “Storms…” “Do not ask…” “Permission…” “To arrive.” Long silence. “Neither should you.” ⸻ BREAKDOWN The drums sound like thunder. The guitars crash like lightning. The choir roars. RISE!! ABOVE!! RISE!! ABOVE!! The final hit lands like a lightning strike. ⸻ VERSE III The storm was never Out above It always lived Inside my blood Waiting on The day I’d see No one’s coming… Only me. Now the clouds Know my name Fire walks Inside the rain The battle ends The lesson forms The Brother left… The Storm returned. ⸻ FINAL CHORUS I AM THE STORM!! UNBROKEN!! UNBOWED!! UNSHAKEN!! I AM THE STORM!! THE FIRE REMAINS!! I DO NOT WAIT!! I BECOME!! ⸻ OUTRO The rain stops. The thunder fades. One final heartbeat. A whisper… “Storms…” “Eventually pass…” “Character…” “Remains.” CLANG.
