[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
