“There are storm clouds before the storm, there are the living before the dead. I need a figurehead, a banner bearer who will announce my arrival to the world.”
“Because a storm is coming and I need to be prepared before it gets here.”
“The storm before the calm.”
“The calm before the storm”
“There's always a calm before the storm...”
“I can get away before the storm hits. Away from a world in which opiates have become the religion of the masses.”
