The air was cold
The clouds were dark
The cats meowed
The dogs would bark
The lightning flashed
The thunder roared
The blinding light
The broken sword
The water crashed
The waves were high
The rain was pouring
From the sky
The trees were blown
The power out
The wind was blowing
All about
The sun was gone
The skies weren't clear
The birds had flown
They left in fear
The houses smashed
The buildings torn
The destructive presence
Of the storm
