Don't mistake my quiet for dormancy
Don't confuse my patience for apathy
There's magma churning underneath my skin
A force of nature held within
They call me lovely when I'm still
Admire the view from up the hill
But step too close, ignore the signs
Cross the boundaries I've defined
I've given fair warning
Smoke signals rising
The ground beneath trembling
My anger horizoning
I am not Pele, but I'll flow like her fire
Consume everything in my righteous ire
I am not asking, I am telling you now
This is sacred ground, don't wonder how
I'll erupt if you push me
Transform the landscape completely
My edges aren't borders for you to explore
My silence isn't weakness to be ignored
You think because I haven't shown my heat
That I'm a mountain you can climb and defeat
But islands are born from the depths of rage
Patience cultivated age after age
I've been gathering power while being nice
Now watch as I refuse to sacrifice
The pressure's been building
For longer than you know
The warnings were given
Now stand back from the flow
I am not Pele, but I'll flow like her fire
Consume everything in my righteous ire
I am not asking, I am telling you now
This is sacred ground, don't wonder how
I'll erupt if you push me
Transform the landscape completely
After the burning
After the ash falls
Something beautiful rises
From what I dissolve
I don't apologize for my nature
For the boundaries I protect
For the fires that forge me
Into something you'll respect
I am not Pele, but I'll flow like her fire
My boundaries aren't suggestions-they're funeral pyres
I am not asking, I am telling you now
This is sacred ground, don't wonder how
I'll erupt when it's needed
Leave your assumptions depleted
I'm not Pele, but test me
And become part of my history

Don't mistake my quiet for dormancy
