i didn't it realize it then
but i am lightning
try catching me in a bottle
and see the burns on your hands?
the glass shards mark your palms
the mocking of something holy
the making of something holier
i am untamable
uncontainable and uncontrollable
you must either observe from a distance
or be able to withstand the shock

mortal hands may fear my touch
i am the power of the gods
the rage and beauty of the sky
in its most pure form
try to catch me
and see how long you shake
