Rain

Left on my own don't know where

I should begin to look it's involuntary instinct

Controls my every footstep, westward through haze

The voice of shadows whispers in my ears

Alaskan forests to the sea

Keeping all faith alive I fall into the rain

Let me go, let me go

Oh my soul drenched in the rain - the rain

I light two candles in the window of my mind

The wind that threatens I've no words left to describe

Resisting the fates

When mercy comes to shelter me

Over and over I am witness to the signs

Evil's more focused as we near the end of times

Praying so hard that your shelter comes to cover me

What kind of world is this that

It should come down to this oh

Each day the pressure building

In Biblical proportion

I've seen extremes from love to war

They both are walking here

And echoing prophetic song

Plagues and famine and hate

All fall into the rain, let it go, let it go

The whole world floods in the rain - the rain

We lose horizons they just vanish as we run

Chess moves in silence glacial patience under gun

The marching of time

When mercy comes to shelter me

Fragments of truth are out there blowing in the wind

I cry for loved ones and removal of the sting

I just can't let go

Your shelter comes to cover me

In desperation we make moves and never know

Their antidote is poison and my blood runs cold

Stoking the flames

When mercy comes to shelter me

You want the truth but do you want insanity?

Peering 'round corners paranoid calamity

Hold on to what's real

Your shelter comes to cover me

Finally in death do you become as once in life

Evil for evil do you pay the highest price

Just let it burn

When mercy comes to shelter me

My flesh and blood it's all that's left my heritage

From life to death to dust so through the woods I search

Complete disconnect

Your shelter comes to cover me
