Through the Storm (2023 Version) [Power Metal]

The last time I worked on this song, I had just gotten over a weeks-long illness and it sounded like I had a cold when I did the vocals. That won't stand! New version with even better vocals and mixing, and a more dynamic video.

The song tells the tale of Hoo'far, the traveling pony from Saddle Arabia seen in the MLP episode "Road to Friendship", getting caught up in a terrible sandstorm on his way back home.

Lyrics:
An ancient sea of sand
Opposed to life
The traveler prays to the gods
To find his way

Buried in the waves
The caravaner fights the rising storm
Through the winds
The massive clouds of suffocating dust
Facing the terrible calamity alone
Praying that he will make it home

Can he make his own way through the storm
Endless waves in an ocean of time
Give him strength to awaken his heart
Bring him home to the city of light
Through the storm

The wings of fury fly
The sky grows dark
As he pleads to end this curse
The traveler cries

Take it all away
The caravaner struggles to move on
Grains like fire
The burning sand is tearing at his face
Facing the darkened waves of dunes soaring high
Praying that he will make it home

Can he make his own way through the storm
Endless waves in an ocean of time
Give him strength to awaken his heart
Bring him home to the city of light
Through the storm

Home

Let the light of Somnambula guide him
Let the wind of her wings guide the way
Over seas he can see there is hope in the sky
Across the sandstorm it waits far away

Can he make his own way through the storm
Endless waves in an ocean of time
Give him strength to awaken his heart
Bring him home to the city of light
