The Tempest

The Tempest is a play by William Shakespeare, probably written in 1610–1611, and thought to be one of the last plays that he wrote alone. After the first scene, which takes place on a ship at sea during a tempest, the rest of the story is set on a remote island, where Prospero, a complex and contradictory character, lives with his daughter Miranda, and his two servants: Caliban, a savage monster figure, and Ariel, an airy spirit. The play contains music and songs that evoke the spirit of enchantment on the island. It explores many themes, including magic, betrayal, revenge, and family.

Immersed in a dream
Stirred from this slumber
Of suspension
Pushed through the veil
Into a new dimension
Solemn promises
Whispered through an impenetrable darkness
Now brought to light
All you've ever known
Fades away when these two worlds unite
All at once you are set free
Where your whims and truth collide
Beyond where dreams reside
If you stumble, When you fall
Face your fears and through it all
You are not alone
Clouds give way to clarity
Beyond shallow visions of their truth
Remain strong
Everything lies in that window
In between
Perceptions from the mirror
Won't reveal what it all means
Fair weather tears at heart strings
That each new day brings
From strangers behind painted smiles
So weed your garden well
For one can never tell
Where the poison lies
Awaken from a dream
Pulled through the veil
As memories
Flood the mind
Of those who wait
And those left behind
All at once you are set free
Where your whims and truth collide
Beyond where dreams reside
If you stumble, When you fall
Face your fears and through it all
You are not alone
All at once you were set free
Where your whims and truth collide
Beyond where dreams reside
When you stumbled, When you fell
You faced your fears and through it all
You were not alone
