The heart of the tornado is on a rampage after me
Anger is the centrifugal force stirring the debris
I should have heard the silence before the coming rain
Now I feel the thunder set loose rolling in my brain

I will feel the lashes of the wind cut across my thighs
And taste the blood of pummeling blows trickle down my eyes
But the heart of the tornado will never catch up to me
The wind is a dangerous thing when it comes out for all to see
