Analysis of In Her Violence
When the earth laments her children
Raising storms to rectify
The centuries of disregard
The clouds can testify
How the eagle shows no mercy
To the prey its eye enthralls
How fate can be rewriting
By a northern squall
Life it is her pleasure
Though we make like kings
Her tempest' undo empires
And reshape everything
Here on unchained islands
Grasping at the wind
We think to make like God
And end up with nothing
