[Intro]
I walk the line with a smile that hides the storm inside
Footsteps soft as dawn, but the horizon feels the tide
[Verse 1]
A practiced grin, a careful shuffle of the cards I deal
Calm on the surface, but the pulse beneath you can feel
Every rumor of chaos kept neatly in a polished frame
If you listen close, you hear the quiet growl beneath my name
[Pre-Chorus]
They think they know the storm I keep at bay
But power hums in silence, waiting for the day
[Chorus]
I stand polite, but I’m a tethered thunder, waiting to break
A glimmer of danger in the calm I make
Hooked on the edge of the unseen force I won't reveal
The fear I plant is the thing that makes you kneel
[Verse 2]
The mask of ease slips slow, a crack in the genteel guise
A danger dressed in mercy, a truth no oath can disguise
Threats retreat when the quiet swells and sways like steel
The unspoken mass behind the mask is all the power they feel
[Pre-Chorus]
Gentle hands, a storm that won’t forget to rise
Negotiation ends when the green fire sighs
[Chorus]
I stand polite, but I’m a tethered thunder, waiting to break
A glimmer of danger in the calm I make
Hooked on the edge of the unseen force I won't reveal
The fear I plant is the thing that makes you kneel
[Bridge]
If you pierce the veil, you’ll hear the roar beneath the grace
A warning whispered in a velvet, dangerous embrace
[Chorus]
I stand polite, but I’m a tethered thunder, waiting to break
A glimmer of danger in the calm I make
Hooked on the edge of the unseen force I won't reveal
The fear I plant is the thing that makes you kneel
[Outro]
So I smile, and the quiet swells, a patient, growing force
The truce holds tight, till the true power finds its course
