What once was weak, has reached its peak
A cause and effect, it’s changing, changing
I am the butterfly
Clip these wings, so many have tried
I’ll keep a weather eye
I’m not afraid to look to the sky
Well I’m not satisfied
Living a simple, easy lie
I’m not satisfied
With the simple life
I don’t need your affirmation for this transformation
If you want another victim, well, I don’t ask permission, no I
I take what I want, now, I ignite the spark
Of the wildfire raging within
Catharsis, I shed this, chrysalis
The rise of one, the lowliest of pawns
Into a queen, the most powerful piece
Chaotic, hypnotic
In theory, you made me
And I become, what you fear
And when I’m done, I promise you’ll never forget me
With enough pressure you can make a diamond
You thought, you thought, you could put the fire out
You thought, you thought, you could put the fire out
Feel the thunder ahead, my blood is bled
I will never bow down ever again
Feel the thunder ahead, my blood is bled
I will never bow down ever again
I am the storm, I am the storm
I am the sound of thunder
I take what I want, now, I ignite the spark
Of the wildfire raging within
My metamorphosis, I’m not so delicate
I am the butterfly
Clip these wings, so many have tried
I’m not satisfied living a simple easy lie
I’m not satisfied with the simple life
I am the storm, the storm, I am, I am
