[English]

Through my eyes, just a shadow (just a shadow)

Standing there at the window

You're the ghost behind, haunting me

You're the wall of ice, but I'll burn you down

Nothing will stand in my way

As I embrace my destiny

No, your arrows will not bring me down

You're just a noise, a whisper in the night

My heart beats harder than the thunder (harder than the thunder)

From fire, I'm born

I am the storm

Dark grey clouds all around

Ice cold winds, but I am just fine

Oh, I see the dreamscapes, leave the cries behind

I can kill my demons with a smile

Nothing will stand in my way

As I embrace my destiny

No, your arrows will not bring me down

You're just a noise, a whisper in the night

My heart beats harder than the thunder (harder than the thunder)

From fire, I'm born

I am the storm

I've been there before

I felt the fear, I feared the cold

Imprisoned in lies

Illusions of flames, only in my mind

I opened my eyes

To a brand new world

A place where darkness

Is meant to show your inner light

Nothing will stand in my way

As I embrace my destiny

No, your arrows will not bring me down

You're just a noise, a whisper in the night

My heart beats harder than the thunder (harder than the thunder)

From fire, I'm born

I am the storm

...

I am the storm

...
