about

‘Ride the Storm’ is an audacious rock track that paints a vivid picture of resilience against the fiercest challenges. Starting with the imagery of the devil dancing at one's feet, the lyrics delve into the universal theme of confronting and overcoming inner demons. The repeated mention of the devil dancing signifies persistent challenges, suggesting the cyclical nature of life's struggles.



The raw power of thunder (reminiscent of Thor, the god of thunder) provides a stark backdrop to the song's message. This Norse mythology reference serves as a reminder that even though these external forces seem godlike, in essence, they're not our gods. We have the power to defy them, to not play into their narrative.



The chorus is a resolute call to action. Riding the storm, finding one's inner fire, and standing up against hate. The bridge, with mentions of rain, thunder, and lightning, captures the essence of nature's raw, unpredictable force. Yet, even in the face of this tempest, the song urges listeners to keep fighting, to not be swayed by external pressures, and to remain true to oneself.



Drawing from various imageries, from mythical gods to natural elements, ‘Ride the Storm’ crafts a narrative of defiance, courage, and self-belief, making it a track that's both timely and timeless.

lyrics

Ride the Storm

Verse 1

The devils dancing

At your feet

Show no mercy

Before he smells defeat



Better stop running

From that noose

Show that devil

He ain’t no use, hey!



Hear the thunder

Of mighty Thor

Let his screams

Fill your core



We’re all human

They’re not our gods

Don't play their game

Defy their odds



Chorus

Ride the storm

In the blackest night

If you’re the fire

You don’t need no light



Ride the storm

In the blackest night

Don’t let them hate you

When it's time, time to fight



Verse 2

The devils dancing

At your feet

Show no mercy

Before he smells defeat



Better stop running

From that noose

Show that devil

He ain’t no use, hey!



Chorus

Ride the storm

In the blackest night

If you’re the fire

You don’t need no light



Ride the storm

In the blackest night

Don’t let them hate you

When it's time, time to fight



Bridge

Rain, thunder, lightning from the skies

Dreams, nightmares, running from your lies



Chorus

Ride the storm

In the blackest night

If you’re the fire

You don’t need no light



Ride the storm

In the blackest night

Don’t let them hate you

When it's time, time to fight
