[Arrangement: Driving storm-rock with pounding piano, distorted electric guitar, Hammond organ, rolling toms, and howling wind effects. Build from a tense verse into a full-force chorus.]
[Intro]
Hear it coming
(Feel the gust!)
Clouds are turning
(Into dust!)
[Verse 1]
The wind was once a servant
We put it to the task
Turned the mills and drove the ships
And never thought to ask
[Pre-Chorus]
From the mountains to the ocean
From the ocean to the sky
She keeps on moving
As the winds begin to fly
[Refrain]
Wind whipped
(A slave of the modern age)
Future shipped
(To the history page)
The wind wails
(The system fails)
The sails ripped…
(… wind whipped)
[Verse 2]
The age has got a story
Written in the pressure lines
Forged with human glory
Building catastrophic signs
[Refrain]
Wind whipped
(A slave of the modern age)
Future shipped
(To the history page)
The wind wails
(The system fails)
The sails ripped…
(… wind whipped)
Hold the line
(Hold the mast!)
Storm is coming
(Moving fast!)
[Bridge]
Who’s the master?
(Who’s the slave?)
Did we build the future
(Or dig our own grave?)
We shipped the future
For another day
Now the wind is sending
That bill… right this way
No more pretending
No more looking back
When the future races at ya…
… feel it in the track
[Breakdown]
Wind!
(Whipped!)
Round and round
The energy flows
Where it ends
Nobody knows!
[Instrumental]
[Howling wind]
[Pounding piano]
[Heavy guitar riff]
[Drums build to a full storm]
[Final Chorus]
Wind whipped!
(A slave of the modern age!)
Future shipped!
(To the history page!)
The wind wails!
(The system fails!)
The sails ripped!
(… wind whipped!)
[Outro]
Hear the wind
(Whip!)
Hear the sails
(Rip!)
The future isn’t somewhere
Far beyond the horizon
It’s here… see it happen
(Wind whipped!)
