Tied to the Storm

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

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

Tied to the storm! Tied to the storm!

We’ll survive — we’ll survive — we’ll survive the storm!

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

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

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

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

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
