Analysis of THE CALM BE FORCING THE STORM
Like fools we tried to contain her
but simply rubbed her the wrong way
Unlike some genie prisoned in a lamp
She can't be commanded to do as you say
Such raw power cannot be bottled for control
to deploy in the many active wars we now wage
In the end we'll realise it is us who are the damned
as She releases her destructive forces without rage
