Lightning Strikes Twice

"The Tower" is an explosive and emotionally charged track from Xak Stahl’s Major Arcana album, embodying the raw energy of upheaval, destruction, and transformation. Inspired by the Tarot card of the same name, this song captures the moment when everything falls apart—only to be rebuilt stronger than before.

With thunderous drums, crashing guitars, and haunting synths, "The Tower" mirrors the chaos of sudden change. The lyrics dive into the reckoning of illusions shattering and the struggle to rise from the wreckage. It's a powerful reminder that even in destruction, there is rebirth.

Let "The Tower" shake your foundations and guide you through the fire. Sometimes, the only way forward is through the storm. ⚡🔥

Lyrics:

A crack in the sky, a fire in the air,
The walls come down, but no one’s prepared.
Everything I built, everything I knew,
Gone in a flash—what do I do?

Lightning strikes without a sound,
No way back, no solid ground.
Through the wreckage, through the fall,
Will I rise or lose it all?

I am The Tower, the storm, the break,
The chaos that comes when illusions fade.
Tear it down, let the fire burn,
Through destruction, we return.

Every comfort, every lie,
Crumbles beneath a shattered sky.
No warning, no safe escape,
Only ashes in my wake.

Lightning strikes without a sound,
No way back, no solid ground.
Through the wreckage, through the fall,
Will I rise or lose it all?

I am The Tower, the storm, the break,
The chaos that comes when illusions fade.
Tear it down, let the fire burn,
Through destruction, we return.

What’s left standing, what remains?
From the ruin, I’ll rebuild again.
Through the fire, through the pain,
From the ashes, I’ll rise unchained.

I am The Tower, the storm, the break,
The chaos that comes when illusions fade.
Tear it down, let the fire burn,
Through destruction, we return.

The sky is clear, the night is still,
A world undone, a test of will.
From the wreckage, I have learned,
The Tower falls, but I return.

Steve Aoki & NERVO & Tony Junior - Lightning Strikes

Rain has always been a symbol of life in the arid land of Tharparkar but thunder and lightning accompanying it have become a source of permanent fear among its residents now. In recent years, lightning strikes have taken dozens of lives besides destroying crops and killing animals at a large scale.

In this episode of our podcast, Earthwise reports how local residents link these lightning strikes with coal development.

ELECTRO HOUSE (30 Great Tracks)

Xak Stahl: Alchemist of Sound, Architect of Emotion

Xak Stahl is a genre-blurring music artist, sonic storyteller, and relentless experimenter. Every track he creates is a new world—a kaleidoscope of indie folk, alt-pop, electronica, and global flavors—infused with raw emotion and boundless curiosity. Xak’s music isn’t just heard; it’s felt.

From Shadow to Spotlight

For Xak, music is metamorphosis. His journey began in the shadows, transmuting heartbreak and struggle into songs that glow with hope. Early anthems like “Neon Dreams” and “Rising Through the Darkness” invite listeners to find their own light. His newest project, Major Arcana, channels the mysteries of the Tarot—each song an archetype, each lyric a step along the path from the Fool’s first leap to the wisdom of The World.

More Than Music: A Multisensory Universe

But Xak isn’t confined to sound. As a visual artist and writer, he crafts immersive stories that spill across genres and languages—sometimes haunting, sometimes playful, always honest. Whether he’s conjuring lush soundscapes, weaving bilingual lyrics, or creating striking visuals, Xak’s art dares you to feel deeper and dream wilder.

An Invitation to Transformation

Join Xak Stahl on a sonic odyssey that blurs borders—between genres, between artforms, between you and the music. Each release is an invitation to explore, to heal, to become. For Xak, every song is a spell, every album a universe. The only question is: are you ready to step inside?
