Rain

Left on my own don't know whereI should begin to look it's involuntary instinctControls my every footstep, westward through hazeThe voice of shadows whispers in my earsAlaskan forests to the seaKeeping all faith alive I fall into the rainLet me go, let me goOh my soul drenched in the rain - the rainI light two candles in the window of my mindThe wind that threatens I've no words left to describeResisting the fatesWhen mercy comes to shelter meOver and over I am witness to the signsEvil's more focused as we near the end of timesPraying so hard that your shelter comes to cover meWhat kind of world is this thatIt should come down to this ohEach day the pressure buildingIn Biblical proportionI've seen extremes from love to warThey both are walking hereAnd echoing prophetic songPlagues and famine and hateAll fall into the rain, let it go, let it goThe whole world floods in the rain - the rainWe lose horizons they just vanish as we runChess moves in silence glacial patience under gunThe marching of timeWhen mercy comes to shelter meFragments of truth are out there blowing in the windI cry for loved ones and removal of the stingI just can't let goYour shelter comes to cover meIn desperation we make moves and never knowTheir antidote is poison and my blood runs coldStoking the flamesWhen mercy comes to shelter meYou want the truth but do you want insanity?Peering 'round corners paranoid calamityHold on to what's realYour shelter comes to cover meFinally in death do you become as once in lifeEvil for evil do you pay the highest priceJust let it burnWhen mercy comes to shelter meMy flesh and blood it's all that's left my heritageFrom life to death to dust so through the woods I searchComplete disconnectYour shelter comes to cover me
