Dark Firestorm - Total Control

Lyrics written, completely by Shalini Angela Persaud Verse 1: Yes! It is I whom you see Standing at these massive gates of fate Facing the pounding surf and the harsh shrieking of the wind Pre-Chorus: As it tears down our hopes and dreams Facing the vivid flash of lightning which Illuminates the harsh reality Once camouflaged Once hidden From our trusting eyes Verse 2: Yes! Here I stand No more a mere shell To be flung about by the cruel waves Emptied of all emotion and feeling No more do I stand Bridge: Willing victim to the treacherous currents Threatening to sweep me off my feet Into a giant whirlpool… pulling me Down in its dark, sinister depths Verse 3: Yes! I have fought To regain my stand on the firm ground Resisting, pulling, crying for rescue As the tears refuse to fall Pre-Chorus: Running from the thundering surf Back to safety… to the firm ground On which I now stand Chorus: Here I stand At these gates of life Courageous, triumphant In my will to survive To rise like a phoenix from the ashes And pilot and control my life Verse (outro): Yes, I emerge From within the web of illusion To retrieve my control Here I stand, victim of no fool Who thinks I know not the rules Of this game we play Through all eternity.
