About this song

The shepherd dogs need to get the flock to safety before the huge storms gets to them.

Lyrics

[Verse 1 - male and female Vocals, Measured]
The air sits wrong, pressure's dropping fast
The west goes dark, clouds building tall
They feel it too, starting to move restless
We read the signs - this one's not small

[Chorus 1 - male and female Vocals, Building Energy]
When the storm comes we read the signs
When the storm comes we move as one
You trust my calls, I trust your lines
Together is how we get things done

[Verse 2 - Female Vocal]
I'll push from behind, get them moving

[Verse 2 Response - Male Vocal]
I'll lead them toward the gate

[Verse 2 - Female Vocal]
They're nervous, fighting the direction

[Verse 2 Response - Male Vocal]
I know - just keep the pressure on

[Chorus 2 - Both Vocals, Faster Tempo, Energy: High]
When the storm comes we read the signs
When the storm comes we move as one
You trust my calls, I trust your lines
Together is how we get things done

[Bridge - Alternating Vocals, Rapid, Energy: Very High, BPM: 110]

[Female Vocal]
Wait - three broke left toward the ridge

[Male Vocal]
I see them - should I go?

[Female Vocal]
If you go, I can't hold the rest alone

[Male Vocal]
If I don't, we lose them for sure

[Female Vocal]
The time - we're running out of time

[Male Vocal]
I'm going - keep them moving forward

[Female Vocal]
Hurry - I don't know how long I can hold

[Break, soaring guitar solo]

[Verse 3 - Female Vocal Solo, Strained, Energy: High]
The main group's pulling against me hard
They want to scatter, I'm losing grip
The wind's so strong now, I hear thunder
Where is he? Did he get them back?

[Verse 4 - Male Vocal Solo, Desperate, Energy: High]
The ridge is steep, they're panicked, climbing
I'm trying to turn them, cut them off
My legs are burning, lungs are screaming
I don't know if I can bring them down in time

[Turning Point - Both Vocals, Relief Building, Energy: Medium-High]

[Male Vocal]
I've got them - heading back your way

[Female Vocal]
I see you - the gate's just ahead

[male and female harmonizing Vocals]
We might make this - push, push harder
Everyone together now - move!

[Final Verse - Both Vocals, Final Sprint, Energy: Very High, BPM: 120]
The gate's in sight, we're almost there
Thunder's cracking, first drops falling
I count them through - eighteen, nineteen, twenty
One more - there - everyone's in

[Final Chorus - Both Vocals, Exhausted Relief, Energy: Medium, Slowing Down]
When the storm comes we read the signs
When the storm comes we move as one
You trust my calls, I trust your lines
Together is how we get things done

[Outro - Both Vocals, Quiet, Energy: Low, BPM: 75]
We stand together, catching our breath
Could have gone wrong in so many ways
The storm rages and we were scared to death
We did what we could
And today, that was 
[Spoken]
And today, that was enough

[Final Chorus - Both Vocals, Exhausted Relief, Energy: high]
When the storm comes we read the signs
When the storm comes we move as one
You trust my calls, I trust your lines
Together is how we get things done
