Stormbound: Lovers Torn Apart
A storm-born love story: two lovers meet, then fracture as the storm rips them apart. A powerful gothic rock song with distorted electric guitars, heavy bass, pounding drums, eerie pipe organ, and haunting choir. Make it dark, dramatic, with a memorable chorus. male/female voices speaking over each
Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Clouds in your eyes
Ash in my veins
We met at the edge
Of the breaking rain
You kissed like thunder
Teeth on my tongue
Your name in the lightning
Across my lungs
[Chorus]
Storm-born lovers, we were made in the dark
Cut from the clash of a furious heart
Hold me under, let the sky come apart
If the wind tears you from me
I will drown in the debris
Storm-born lovers, burning out in the black of the flood
[Verse 2]
You laughed at the sirens
Dared them to sing
Danced on the fault line
Pulled at my strings
I tasted the hailstones
Cold on your skin
We promised forever
As the fault caved in
[Chorus]
Storm-born lovers, we were made in the dark
Cut from the clash of a furious heart
Hold me under, let the sky come apart
If the wind tears you from me
I will drown in the debris
Storm-born lovers, burning out in the black of the flood
[Bridge]
[male vocal low, close]
I reached through the roar
But you slipped from my hands
Like rain through the floorboards
Like glass through the sand
[female vocal distant, echoed]
You called through the static
I broke on the reef
Your shadow stayed with me
Your voice in my teeth (oh)
[together]
If this is the curse
Then let it be ours
I’ll haunt every fault line
You’ll live in my scars
[Chorus]
Storm-born lovers, we were made in the dark
Cut from the clash of a furious heart
Hold me under, let the sky come apart
If the wind tears you from me
I will drown in the debris
Storm-born lovers, carved in thunder and rust
[Outro]
Storm-born lovers
(one last spark)
Storm-born lovers
(gone with the dark)
