A Perfect Storm

Forces from the sidelines
Pushing for a race against time
Tempting us deplete
Only to face a certain defeat

Hey now, it's not random
If we're the ones to cause a storm

It's a numbers game
Ignoring all the combined tail end risks

Gambling with our common fate
To quench the thirst of a few
No time for the masses to be informed
To have say, got to win the race
Just win the race, a race to lose control

Intentions don't matter much
As the dominoes start to fall

Hey now, it's not random
When we're the ones to cause a storm

Hey, it's not random
If we rise, just to peak and fall

Hey now, it's not random
It's still within our own control

Hey now, it's not random
When we're the ones to unleash a perfect storm
