In just a year another storm will come 

to wash away an inch more blood 

its lack of hatred, politics or creed 

left us blind 

open wide 

our gun hands tied 

for this old world has seen the worst of us 

its love worn thinner by the day 

and every ounce of havoc 

that we wreaked upon it 

got the best of us 

oh, and the rest is for us 

let it rain... 

enter rain... 

exit pain 

in seven years ago I’ll see a man 

a moment stretched out over years 

his eyes just flicker 

and then something’s changed 

an empty cage 

a crimson bud 

sprung out in mud 

let it rain 

in just ten minutes I will see a child 

buying milk all dressed in rags 

and without thinking he will 

cover up his naked hand 

to the cold 

oh, and that gives me hope 

let it rain... 

enter rain... 

exit pain 



STANDING 

And the rain will wash us to the bone 

leaving thousands in its trail 

cleansing all the flesh wounds 

of our time 

of every crime 

of every pound of dust and grime 

in two seconds I will hit the ground 

a moment stretched out over years 

and my eyes will flicker 

and then something has changed 

an empty cage 

a crimson bud 

a street of blood 

a city rose sprung out to greet the rain 

you’ll never remember my name 

but I will love you just the same 

you’ll never remember my name 

but I love you just the same 

just the same 

just the same 

you’ll never remember my name 

but I love you just the same 

just the same 



FALLING 

enter rain... 

(a city rose) 

(a street of blood) 

in two seconds I will hit the ground...
