[Silence]<\/p>\n

[Instrumental, Guitar, Piano, Organ, Synth, Bass, Percussion, Drums]<\/p>\n

[Intro]
\n[Instrumental Intro: Driving Guitar Riff, Rolling Bass, Organ Swells, Thunder FX, Building Drums]
\n[Minimal Beat, Spoken Vocal]
\nClimb aboard…
\n(Here we go)
\nWinds are rising…
\n(Feel them blow)<\/p>\n

[Refrain]
\nRidin’ the storm
\n(To the new norm)
\nIs it any surprise
\n(Rise of the thrillin’ ride)<\/p>\n

Ride, ride, ride<\/p>\n

[Verse 1]
\nClouds are stacking mile on mile
\nNature’s wearing a different smile
\nHeat becomes the driving force
\nSending weather off its course<\/p>\n

[Chorus]
\nRidin’ the storm
\n(To the new norm)
\nWinds are stronger
\n(Longer, longer)<\/p>\n

Rain comes down
\n(Harder still)
\nNature climbs
\n(Another hill)<\/p>\n

Ride, ride, ride
\n(No place to hide)<\/p>\n

[Instrumental]
\n[Guitar Solo]
\n[Heavy Bass Groove, Organ Stabs, Driving Drums, Synth Wind Effects]<\/p>\n

[Verse 2]
\nYesterday’s extremes were rare
\nNow they’re showing everywhere
\nRecords broken one by one
\nBefore the season’s even done<\/p>\n

Another joule that finds release
\nAcceleration increase
\nFlood or fire, wind or rain
\nDifferent faces, same refrain<\/p>\n

[Pre-Chorus]
\nMore energy
\n(More surprise)
\nChanging weather
\n(Before our eyes)<\/p>\n

[Bridge]
\nThe ride gets faster
\n(Every year)
\nThe signals louder
\n(Loud and clear)<\/p>\n

The map is changing
\n(The rules bend)
\nWhat once was rare
\n(Returns again)<\/p>\n

[Breakdown]
\n[Minimal Beat, Deep Sub Bass, Spoken Vocal]
\nThe storm…<\/p>\n

…isn’t changing because it’s angry.<\/p>\n

It’s changing…<\/p>\n

…due to the energy.<\/p>\n

[Final Chorus]
\nRidin’ the storm
\n(To the new norm)
\nIs it any surprise
\n(Rise of the thrillin’ ride)<\/p>\n

Ride, ride, ride<\/p>\n

Higher seas
\n(Stronger breeze)
\nHotter days
\n(Longer waves)<\/p>\n

Storm by storm
\n(The pattern forms)
\nWelcome to…
\n(The new norm)<\/p>\n

Ride, ride, ride…<\/p>\n

[Outro]
\n[Instrumental Outro: Thunder Rolls, Echo Guitar, Organ Fade, Ocean Waves]
\nRidin’ the storm…
\n(To the new norm…)<\/p>\n

Ride…
\nRide…
\nRide…<\/p>\n
