In meteorology, a cyclone is an area of closed, circular fluid motion rotating in the same direction as the Earth. This is usually characterized by inward spiraling winds that rotate counterclockwise in the Northern Hemisphere and clockwise in the Southern Hemisphere of the Earth. A "tropical cyclone" is a synonym for a hurricane. Most large-scale cyclonic circulations are centered on areas of low atmospheric pressure. The largest low-pressure systems are cold-core polar cyclones and extratropical cyclones which lie on the synoptic scale. Warm-core cyclones such as tropical cyclones, mesocyclones, and polar lows lie within the smaller mesoscale. Subtropical cyclones are of intermediate size. Upper level cyclones can exist without the presence of a surface low, and can pinch off from the base of the Tropical Upper Tropospheric Trough during the summer months in the Northern Hemisphere. Cyclones have also been seen on extraterrestrial planets, such as Mars and Neptune.
Cyclogenesis describes the process of cyclone formation and intensification.Extratropical cyclones form as waves in large regions of enhanced mid-latitude temperature contrasts called baroclinic zones. These zones contract to form weather fronts as the cyclonic circulation closes and intensifies. Later in their life cycle, cyclones occlude as cold core systems. A cyclone's track is guided over the course of its 2 to 6 day life cycle by the steering flow of the cancer or subtropical jet stream.
(Against the wiles of the devil
For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood
Against principalities
Against powers
Against the rulers of darkness of this age
Against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places)
Anvils fall from your lips
Like shrapnel bits from these metal fists
Pounding my back without mercy with
An arsenal of foul curses
Attitude without gratitude is like pulverizing my chest
you dream to take me down...
So here's your goodbye kiss
Devastator
Complicator
Bringer of pain
Why won't you fly away?
(Therefore take up the whole armor of God
that you may be able to withstand in the evil day
and having done all to stand
with which you will be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked one)
Now you jumped the fence
As enemies, they transform to friends
Spitting your venom at my back, and
Asleep in the dragon's lair
Loyalty's not your currency, how soon you do forget
You think you've found your wings
But you'll never fly again
Fly away
Disappear, and just disappear and just
Fly away
Couldn't believe your eyes
When you see what the fuck is comin'
Psyclones all you sorry mothafuckas runnin'
The city has turned to renegades
With guns and blades
And criminals seeking to get paid
I maintain, keep cool-ahead
In the face of destruction whether I live or die
Unpredictable, invincible, untamable, individual
Uncontrollable like a psycho deadly
So let us begin to take your min'
To another plane 'cause I know you ain't ready
The course of the psyclone is steady
So who in their right mind
Would get in the way of the machete?
The serpent fuckin' with me
In the turbulent times of war on the street
Gran your fuckin' heat
Come with me inside the whirl wind
Everybody's welcome into the psycho's den
Even though we don't know the attack's exact origin
Man-made diseases show traces of an assassin
The government went deranged and came blastin'
Tryin' to finish us off with poisoned rations
As you sleep
Nightmares and dreamscapes awake
Now it's time to renovate
Use thoughts and plots to elevate
Violence is like cellophane storing all you renegades
The only thing is you're already spoiled
So now you play the game
Teams are spread out all over your city
Mobile with your lo lo
On 520's and 560's
Guns and drugs are spread into your town
You must realize open your eyes wide
The drama will be televised
Revolution waitin' for your input like dial tones
Strap on the psyclone's takin' your zone
Grab your weapon keep streppin'
If you don't defend
Don't mention it to anybody who questions
Step into the eye and die you've been shook and took
By madman, psycho slash crook
The cities' survival depends on defense methods
We bring L.A. to the stage live coverage
Methods are jagged like pieces of broken records
Are now shanks we abuse in the holding tanks
It's going down in the middle of downtown
Out of line, confined to get checked and robbed blind
Vigilante to protect and serve the people
Violent sequels 'til the evil and death equal
Even though we don't know the attack's exact origin
Man-made diseases show traces of an assassin
The government went deranged and came blastin'
Tryin' to finish us off with poisoned rations
The day could feel what I feel
Life in the battlefield facing fuckin' steel, no shield
Puppet governments on the streets
To confiscate C.B.'s, batteries and M.C.'s
Look at the deep thought dwelling within' your mind
Do you got what it takes to survive the city of the blind?
Everyone follow and let your soul feel free
Can you keep up or will you fall behind me?
Look for spies near telephones
Neighborhood informants, tapping into your dial tones
Televisions act cameras also
Enemies program your box of cables
Invasion of your spaces calls for rowdy occasion
Deliberate attacks on your stacks means retaliation
Can you succeed in leaving the other side bleeding?
Can you succeed in leaving the other side bleeding?
Or will they defeat my street fleet?

Skylines
My love won't look me in the eye it makes me want to cry
And over senseless times the sense returns unwraps me
from my fight
This holding pattern tightening forces me to see
I take it all in stride we are entangled you and me
I'm threaded into, embossed across you
Our skyline's inline, we're getting back to
Back to the point we intersect
I'm meeting memories left and right your stillness is my
light
Beam into begin with me I'm craving for an even tide
No walking over water, no hanging out to dry
The detail is so bright, we're still entangled you and I
I'm threaded into, embossed across you
Our skyline's inline, we're getting back to
Back to the point we intersect
Ahhh
I'm threaded into, embossed across you
Our skylines are inline, we're getting back to
Back to the point we intersect
In the end of every road think of those you left behind
Are you there all alone? Are there any tears to cry?
Sorry for the things you did, but sorrow wouldn't take you far
Step ahead, and just proceed; keep your memories in a jar
Answers they hide inside your eyes
High in the sky lines
Calling your name out from the night
Hopes of glory, bedtime stories
Nothing to believe today; dreams begin to fade away
Doubts of making; feel so forsaken
You're walking in circles...
But look for the sky lines, breath out your pain and
Follow my trail down to your mind
I'll be there waiting; nearing and fading
Look for the writings in the blind.
Trapped and confused inside those lies
You're high in the sky lines
