Embrace the Storm is a powerful symphonic metal song about facing changes. Driven by heavy riffs, soaring choirs and operatic vocals, this song captures the raw chaos of transformation like staring into the heart of a storm, a sense of something breaking apart to make way for something new. Are you ready to cast off the weight of the past and give yourself into the storm?

Embrace the Storm

Embrace the Storm (feat. Nadia Selvaggi)

Uwe Barschel (* 13.05.1944, † 11.10.1987) was a German politician of the CDU. He was Minister President of Schleswig-Holstein from 1982 to 1987 after serving as a state minister. After a scandal that arose during the 1987 state election campaign, which caused a sensation as the Barschel affair, led him to resign, he was found dead in the Beau-Rivage Hotel in Geneva on October 11, 1987. The circumstances of Barschel's death are still disputed today.

(Barschel was charismatic, eloquent and struck a pleasantly moderate tone for a CDU politician. And at 38 he was the youngest head of government of a German state at the time. 
Fun fact: Barschel received the Bambi media award in 1986)

Uwe Barschel

You think I'm docile, a puppet on your string?
A little secret, a song you love to sing?
I see the glances, the whispers in the air
A little darkness, you think I wouldn't care?
Yeah, I can feel it, the shift within your gaze
Lost in cheap thrills, caught in a desperate maze.

You're walking on a fault line, cracks begin to show
A dangerous game you're playing, where do you think you'll go?
My patience is a powder keg, ticking soft and low
There's something primal, you don't even know...

DON'T YOU DARE CHEAT ON ME! OH NO!
YOU'RE PLAYING WITH A FIRE YOU CAN'T CONTROL!
I'LL UNLEASH A FURY DEEP WITHIN MY SOUL!
OH, DON'T YOU DARE MESS WITH ME!
'CAUSE YOU HAVE NO IDEA, NO GHOST OF A CLUE!
WHAT HELL I'M CAPABLE OF, WHEN I'M COMING FOR YOU!

You taste the poison, you call it sweet desire
But every step you're taking, you're lighting up my pyre
I've seen the monster, living in my head
And if you wake it up, darling, you're walking dead.
I'm not a victim, I clawed my way out whole
And trust me, baby, I've got a blacker hole.

You're walking on a fault line, cracks begin to show
A dangerous game you're playing, where do you think you'll go?
My patience is a powder keg, ticking soft and low
There's something primal, you don't even know...

DON'T YOU DARE CHEAT ON ME! NO!
YOU'RE PLAYING WITH A FIRE YOU CAN'T CONTROL!
I'LL UNLEASH A FURY DEEP WITHIN MY SOUL!
OH, DON'T YOU DARE MESS WITH ME!
'CAUSE YOU HAVE NO IDEA, NO GHOST OF A CLUE!
WHAT HELL I'M CAPABLE OF, WHEN I'M COMING FOR YOU!

They say I'm psycho, they say I'm too much
But you pushed the trigger, you broke the sacred touch
This ain't a warning, it's a cold, hard, spoken truth
There's a monster sleeping, buried in my youth
And it's waking up now, hearing your deceit
Get ready, baby, for the bitter, bitter heat!

DON'T YOU DARE CHEAT ON ME! (NO! NO!)
YOU'RE PLAYING WITH A FIRE YOU CAN'T CONTROL! (YOU CAN'T!)
I'LL UNLEASH A FURY DEEP WITHIN MY SOUL! (MY SOUL!)
OH, DON'T YOU DARE MESS WITH ME!
'CAUSE YOU HAVE NO IDEA! NO GHOST OF A CLUE!
WHAT HELL I'M CAPABLE OF, WHEN I'M COMING FOR YOU!

Stare across the stormy sea on this windy night

There’s nothing here for me and I don’t feel right

Take me to a land outside the visions of my mind

Take me to a paradise I’ll never find

 

Chorus

 

Sing songs of love for me

Sing songs of life

Sing songs that sound so real

Sing songs, sing songs of life

 

Take me on a roller coaster ride through mountains past

Through the valleys of my mind and make it last

Take me on a sailing boat, cool breeze through my hair

All’s well till someone spoke, what’s that you say

 

Bridge

 

Here‘s where the journey ends

Oh it had to be

Meeting lovers, meeting friends

Oh it had to be, to be

 

So I stare across the sea and I never know why

Why it came to me and I start to cry

I’ll never leave this place and I know this is true

And I’ll never see your face and be with you

Songs of Life

This song is a haunting exposé set against the backdrop of Donald Trump’s carefully staged wedding — where flashbulbs masked the truth and Epstein lingered just out of frame. I wrote it to confront the disturbing friendship Trump has worked so hard to erase, the smiles and guest lists that history now reexamines with chilling clarity. It’s about the ghosts he pretends not to know, the evidence hidden in plain sight, and the way denial can’t cleanse the rot beneath the glamour. No golden tower, no velvet rope, no lawsuit can silence the truth forever — because every photo still bleeds… in the frame.

LYRICS:

[Verse 1]
Flashbulbs lie, they never told
A shadow walked where secrets grow
In white and gold, the Plaza’s glow
You smiled for cameras you now disown
A ghost in the corner of your perfect day
History whispers in black-and-gray

[Pre-Chorus]
Silent names on the velvet rope
Dancing with devils in fur and hope

[Chorus]
Your guest list is bleeding
Underneath the chandeliers
Every frame is screaming
The truth you tried to disappear
No vows can cover the rot inside
Your empire of shame, your haunted bride

[Verse 2]
He signed his name in the wedding night
A phantom grin in the camera light
Paper trails, a burning lie
No golden tower can scrape the sky
The tapes resurface, the headlines bite
Your skeletons waltz in the morning light

[Pre-Chorus]
Silent names on the velvet rope
Dancing with devils in fur and hope

[Chorus]
Your guest list is bleeding
Underneath the chandeliers
Every frame is screaming
The truth you tried to disappear
No vows can cover the rot inside
Your empire of shame, your haunted bride

[Verse 3]
Denials rise like smoke and ash
You sue the mirror for looking back
Every doodle, every card
Is evidence carved in a guilty heart
History waits in the courthouse hall
Your friends don’t answer when justice calls

[Bridge]
Shutter clicks like a guillotine
Memory sharp as a crime scene
What you buried now takes flight
Every photo frame testifies tonight

[Chorus]
Your guest list is bleeding
Underneath the chandeliers
Every frame is screaming
The truth you tried to disappear
No vows can cover the rot inside
Your empire of shame, your haunted bride

[Chorus]
Your guest list is bleeding
Underneath the chandeliers
Every frame is screaming
The truth you tried to disappear
No vows can cover the rot inside
Your empire of shame, your haunted bride

[Outro]
Flashbulbs fade, but the ghosts remain
Every wedding bell tolls your name
Your guest list bleeds… in the frame

The Guest List (Buried in the Photos)

This song isn’t drawn from my own life unfortunately, but from the kind of love I’ve imagined for someone who’s had to say a heartbreaking goodbye. I wrote it as if I were the voice of a person speaking from beyond—someone deeply in love, reassuring the one they’ve left behind that death hasn’t ended their connection. It’s a portrait of a bond so strong it survives the limits of time and distance, offering comfort, hope, and the promise of reunion “where the light comes in.” For me, it’s about stepping into another’s story and giving them a voice to carry through their grief.


LYRICS: 

[Intro]
“I never really left… I’m just waiting…” 

[Verse 1]
You gave me roots, you gave me reason
You stayed through storms and quiet seasons
When I was hollow, you gave me weight
When I broke down, you held my fate
Now I drift through skies unseen
But you still burn inside of me 

[Pre-Chorus]
Time is a thief, but love won’t fade
You're every vow I ever made 

[Chorus]
I’ll wait where the light comes in
Past the smoke, past the skin
No more goodbyes, no more pretend
When the silence breaks, we begin again
I’ll wait, I’ll wait—where the light comes in 

[Verse 2]
I see your face in morning air
In echoes caught, in whispered prayer
The dinners made, the songs we knew
The quiet ways you pulled me through
Though I walk this shadowed tide
You're the pulse I keep inside 

[Pre-Chorus]
Time is a thief, but love won’t fade
You're every vow I ever made 

[Chorus]
I’ll wait where the light comes in
Past the smoke, past the skin
No more goodbyes, no more pretend
When the silence breaks, we begin again
I’ll wait, I’ll wait—where the light comes in 

[Verse 3]
Tell the ones I left behind
To carry joy, to always be kind
No shadow here, no death to fear
I walk in peace, but I stay near
And when your final breath arrives
I’ll be the arms where you arrive 

[Bridge]
No clocks, no pain, no need to roam
I’ve made the stars feel just like home
And every tear you've ever cried
Turns into light on the other side 

[Chorus]
I’ll wait where the light comes in
Past the smoke, past the skin
No more goodbyes, no more pretend
When the silence breaks, we begin again
I’ll wait, I’ll wait—where the light comes in 

[Final Chorus]
I’ll wait where the light comes in
Open arms, eternal kin
No fear, no loss, just light within
I’ll be the place you’ve always been
I’ll wait, I’ll wait—where the light comes in 

[Outro]
So carry love, and carry on
I'll be the dusk that meets your dawn
Until that day, just look within—
I’ll wait… where the light… comes in.

Where the Light Comes In

This song came from my conflicted feelings about Columbus Day. Growing up, I learned about Christopher Columbus in school and felt proud of my Italian heritage. But as I got older, I came to understand the other side of history — the voices of Indigenous peoples, (also part of my heritage) who were here long before 1492, and the harm they endured. This song tries to balance both perspectives: it celebrates the courage and determination of Columbus, but also questions the cost, asking us to honor the truth behind the holiday.


LYRICS:

[Verse 1]
On Columbus Day, the banners fly,
Parades through New York, music fills the sky.
Italian pride, a journey bold,
A sailor’s tale from centuries old.

[Chorus]
Columbus sailed across the sea,
Chasing fate and destiny.
Celebrate the courage, question the cost,
History’s gained, but so much was lost.

[Verse 2]
San Francisco cheers with pride today,
Heritage floats in a bright display.
He crossed the ocean with faith and might,
But shadows follow in the morning light.

[Chorus]
Columbus sailed across the sea,
Chasing fate and destiny.
Celebrate the courage, question the cost,
History’s gained, but so much was lost.

[Bridge]
Was he the first, or just one more,
When Leif and nations walked before?
To honor the past, we must see it all,
Both the rise and the painful fall.

[Verse 3]
Since Roosevelt’s time, the day’s been named,
A federal holiday proclaimed.
Yet some will march a different way,
Choosing Indigenous Peoples’ Day.

[Final Chorus]
Columbus Day, the drums still play,
Voices rise in their own way.
Celebrate the courage, question the cost,
History’s gained, but so much was lost.

[Outro]
Raise the flags, but remember too,
The ones who were here before 1492.

Columbus Day

Songwriting has been a lifelong passion for me, dating back to elementary school when I first began crafting stories, poems, and eventually lyrics. As a former drummer in various bands, I always relied on others to bring my words to life musically. However, after a long hiatus from drumming, I decided to take the leap and learn to compose music to accompany my lyrics. Through classes and dedication, I've embarked on a new journey, breathing fresh life into old lyrics and penning new ones. You'll find a mix of older and newer works here. Especially for some of the lyrics. 

Music has been a part of me for as long as I can remember. One of my earliest memories is being completely entranced by 'The Little Drummer Boy' as a very young child. There was something about the rhythm and the melody that just captivated me. I must have played it a thousand times, wearing the record out, and from that moment on, I was hooked. I knew I wanted to be a drummer and to create that magic for others. 

But I was too young then, and of course, I couldn't afford a drum set just yet. So, I turned to writing as a way to express myself. As I mentioned above, I started with stories, then poems, and eventually, lyrics. I found that writing was not only a way to tap into my creativity, but also a way to process my emotions and experiences. 

As I grew older, my love for music only deepened. I realized that music has this incredible power to transport us to different times and places, to evoke emotions and memories that we thought were long forgotten. It's a universal language that can bring people together like nothing else can. 

For me, writing lyrics is a cathartic experience. It's a way for me to tap into my emotions, to process the world around me, and to create something that I hope will resonate with others. And when I hear my words come to life in a song, it's truly magical. It's a feeling that never gets old, and it's what keeps me coming back to music time and time again. 

I love many genres of music and artists of many genres. And if you listen to some of my songs, you will find that I like to make songs of different genres as well as mix different genres into each song. One of my all-time favorite bands is Evanescence, and I have made a lot of songs where I have tried my best to emulate that sound. 

Now, I have recently started experimenting with new sounds. I never heard of glitch beats before I took music classes, and now I'm fascinated with the sound, so I have been experimenting with glitch beats recently. 

I hope you enjoy some of my songs. And thanks so much to everyone who has been listening so far. I truly appreciate it. I welcome constructive feedback to help me grow as an artist, and I appreciate your support. ❤️

BTW if you follow me, I will ALWAYS follow back. If I like your music, I will follow you, but if you don't follow me back within a week or so I will probably unfollow. The same goes for when I see someone listening to my music, I WILL follow, however, if they don't follow me back within a week or so, I'll unfollow, because I'm at my limit of follows and I want to follow back everyone who follows me. Did not know that SoundCloud limits us to following only 2000. 😢

VickStiX's Artist Manifesto
*******************

I am the static between truth and noise.
A pulse that cracks the silence open.
When the world forgets its conscience,
I remind it — one beat, one lyric, one spark.

I don’t shout to divide; I sing to awaken.
I don’t chase fame; I chase clarity.
My art is not a weapon — it’s a flare in the dark.
A signal to every soul that still believes in better.

Let the trolls rage, let the cowards hide.
They can’t drown out a voice that’s tuned to truth.
I will paint their lies in sound and light
until justice has a melody again.

Because protest is not anger — it’s hope with a megaphone.
And I was born to be loud.

🎶 VickStiX — Truth. Rhythm. Revolution.
