Pop Evil went deep on their Versatile album, but the band is ready to make their next musical statement with the song "Eye of the Storm" that's arriving ahead of their summer touring.

The band just released the Sam Shapiro-directed video for the track, which can be viewed below, with the band delivering a rain-soaked performance as singer Leigh Kakaty sings of being trapped within the eye of the proverbial storm.

The band says of the lyrical inspiration, “It doesn’t matter who you are or where you come from, at some point we all face a situation beyond our control. The wind howls at your door as darkness fills the sky and everything you know is being tested. You don’t know if you can survive it. At times, it feels hopeless, but it’s not. There is a path through the chaos and a way out of the confusion. You are stronger and closer than you think you are. The storm will pass. Don’t let it bury you.”

Check out the lyrics and video below and you can pick up the song at this location. At present the song is not attached to an album, but that could always change.

Pop Evil, "Eye of the Storm" Lyrics

I know you’re running from a tidal wave you can’t ignore
I know you’re trapped inside a hurricane, in the Eye of the Storm
Of the storm
Of the storm
When it feels like you can’t go on

You’re only one step away
From breaking down the walls you made
The walls you made and
I know it's hard to move on
I know it's hard to let go
But you’re only one step away
From getting out of the Eye of the Storm

Eye of the Storm

You’re one step away
From falling off the edge
It’s messing with your head
It’s making you forget that you’re one step away
From conquering the pain
From overcoming darkness when fear’s in the way

You’re only one step away
From breaking down the walls you made
The walls you made and
I know it's hard to move on
I know it's hard to let go
But you’re only one step away

Don't let it bury you

I know you’re running from a tidal wave you can’t ignore
I know you’re trapped inside a hurricane, in the Eye of the Storm

But you’re only one step away
From breaking down the walls you made
The walls you made and
I know it's hard to move on
I know it's hard to let go

(I know it’s hard to let go)

I know it's hard to move on
I know it's hard to let go

But you’re only one step away
From getting out of the Eye of the Storm

Eye of the Storm

Don't let it bury you

Pop Evil, "Eye of the Storm"
