Prompt / Lyrics
[Verse 1] The sky tore open, lightning split the clouds Wind slammed the deck, thunder screamed aloud The airship pitched, ropes whipped our hands We clung to the rails, hearts in the storm’s demands Richard braced hard, Mark shouted commands David gritted teeth, Donna prayed with folded hands We fought to steer through the roaring night Every gust a test, every spark a fright [Chorus (Anthemic / Refrain)] We’re tied to the storm, no ground in our sight The clouds crash like mountains in blackened light Let the wind take us, let the sky decide We fight to move forward, but can’t run or hide [Refrain / Chant] Tied to the storm! — tied to the storm! Hold the ropes! — hold the ropes! Push the wheel! — push the wheel! Pray to the skies! — pray to the skies! Thinking of Twosun, the hills, and our kin We’re tied to the storm, just hoping we’ll win Tied to the storm! Tied to the storm! We’ll survive — we’ll survive — we’ll survive the storm! [Verse 2] Sheets of rain cut through the lantern glow The propellers groaned and the rigging bowed low We shouted above the howl of the gale Praying our ship and our courage won’t fail The deck leans wild, the airship sways We’re pinned by the storm in a twisting haze Every roll of the hull could fling us away But we hold to the ropes, we won’t let it sway [Chorus (Anthemic / Refrain)] We’re tied to the storm, no ground in our sight The clouds crash like mountains in blackened light Let the wind take us, let the sky decide We fight to move forward, but can’t run or hide Tied to the storm! — tied to the storm! Hold the ropes! — hold the ropes! Push the wheel! — push the wheel! Pray to the skies! — pray to the skies! Thinking of Twosun, the hills, and our kin We’re tied to the storm, just hoping we’ll win [Verse 3] I see our friends trapped in Twosun below Fighting the Gnar while the cold winds blow The thought of them steels my shaking hands Gives me the strength to follow the captain’s commands Donna clings tight, Mark fights the wheel Richard leans in, refusing to kneel Every lightning strike lights the clouds on fire But our hearts push on, driven by desire [Chorus / Bridge (Anthemic / Refrain)] We’re tied to the storm, no ground in our sight The clouds crash like mountains in blackened light Let the wind take us, let the sky decide We fight to move forward, but can’t run or hide Tied to the storm! — tied to the storm! Hold the ropes! — hold the ropes! Push the wheel! — push the wheel! Pray to the skies! — pray to the skies! Thinking of Twosun, the hills, and our kin We’re tied to the storm, just hoping we’ll win [Verse 4 / Outro] The horizon may hide England in gray But we’ll sail through the tempest, we’ll find a way For friends in the hills and the home we must save We ride the storm’s fury, defy the sky’s rage We’re battered, we’re bruised, but our hearts still burn For the fight that awaits when the clouds turn Though the storm rages, we won’t let go The Strongcastle children soar on through the woe
