There is a comment from Chino about how the theme of the album was going to be about the "end of the world" craze, all the doomsday wingnuts talk about happening in December.
A 'Tempest' is a violent disturbance - so - if you think about it, I think what Chino is writing about is 'go ahead and take me, we've been caught in a standstill (stasis) for so long, take me apart'. Wait for the glory (it actually happening) as you stare into the sky beneath, suggesting you're either blown into outerspace or in heaven, looking down.
wikipedia of the 2012 phenomenon http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2012_phenomenon has some references that kinda tie it all together...or at least you can draw conclusions from it.
The 'ancient arrival' could be the Maya. 'Cut to the end' is saying 'let's see it, enough already, cut to the chase'.
The beginning of Tempest reminds me of Pink Floyd's Run Like Hell
@dchester I know this is an old comment but maybe it wasn't so much THE end in dec 2012 but perhaps of the beginning of the end in the last few years the world has really taken a turn for the worse and this year we are really seeing the makings for end of days shit wihen you consider we are already heading towards a WW3 and that's before Hillary or Trump being elected.
