You look up to see a storm coming down the hall





A sense of cold fury follows behind





All that raw power carried by the wind




It was the darkness of a world drowned in sin

A decade of pressure in a bottle ready to release, yet unwilling to unwind
Ready to strike, ready to drown the world in tears, most of all ready to watch the world fall

I was inspired by the darker side of me, and almost every other person I know.

All of our dark sides seem very similar...
