The Gathering Storm

from Allamagoosalum by Andrew North

/

lyrics

Turn and tumble fractured cloud
There’s a stranger in the crowd
A form condensed from mist
Forces churn up in the sky
It calls constituents on high
Revealed to open up one eye
Feeling, form, a snuggy bed
The sparks that fly inside your head
It’s new but the foundation is so old

A new storm rises, there are no surprises
The pieces as old as time
The eye draws near, for once it’s clear
The pieces as old as time
And you’ll get no quarter from the gathering storm

The pallor hangs round where you lurk
The same old drive home after work
The pieces come together just fine
A game another drink, why not?
Don’t feel your future coming hot
No patience in the way the world turns
Particulate scatter sparrow swarm
You’d best take care, red sky at morn
A flutter and your feet lift off the ground

A new storm rises, there are no surprises
The pieces as old as time
The eye draws near, for once it’s clear
The pieces as old as time
And you’ll get no quarter from the gathering storm

A new storm rises, there are no surprises
The pieces as old as time
The eye draws near, for once it’s clear
The pieces as old as time
And you’ll get no quarter from the gathering storm
