About Tempest

"Tempest" is the second single by Sacramento, California-based alternative metal band Deftones, from their seventh studio album, Koi No Yokan. The song debuted on PureVolume's official website on October 3, 2012 along with a video featuring band members Chino Moreno and Sergio Vega giving some insight regarding the track. The song's lyrical content is representative of the supposed end of the world that would have occurred on December 21, 2012, according to various myths related to the Mayan calendar. It was featured in the trailer for the film Jack the Giant Slayer and an episode of The Following and in the film Furious 7. Peaking at No. 3 on the US Hot Mainstream Rock Tracks, Tempest became Deftones' most successful single on that chart, surpassing "Change (In the House of Flies)", which peaked at No. 9 in 2001. The song has been described as post-metal. It was placed at No. 2 in Consequence of Sound's article "The Top 20 Deftones Songs", with the song described as containing "[e]xpansive textures, Shakespearian lyrics, and multiple all-time-great riffs rolled into one banger". more »

Take out the stories
They’ve put into your mind
And brace for the glory
As you stare into the sky

The sky beneath
I know you can’t be tired
Lay there
Stare at the ceiling

And switch back to your time just go ahead now try
And taste it I know it should be ripe, thrust, ahead

Turning in circles
Been caught in a stasis
The ancient arrival

Cut to the end
I’d like to be taken
Apart from the inside
Then spit through the cycle right to the end

I wonder just how you shaped it
To get back to your prize, thrust ahead

Turning in circles
Been caught in a stasis
The ancient arrival
Cut to the end

I’d like to be taken
Apart from the inside
Then spit through the cycle right to the end

Wake for the glory
I know you can’t be tired

Turning in circles
Been caught in a stasis
The ancient arrival
Cut to the end

I’d like to be taken
Apart from the inside
Then spit through the cycle right to the end

Inside, inside, inside
Turning in circles
Been caught in a stasis
I want you to take me
Apart from the inside
Right to the end
