Black Rain
Lyrics
From the bones of giants crushed to dust
They fuel the fire with ancient rust
Tyrants dig deep
No end to their lust
A black river flows
A poison stream
The earth cries out
But they chase the dream
The blood of the Earth down below
Pours into the hands of the greedy
They light the match
Ignite the war
Destroying mankind
So easy
Drills pierce the earth
Veins split wide
Greed and power will never subside
The evil laughs as the planet dies
A dark sky chokes
No room to breathe
The black rain falls
No reprieve
The blood of the Earth down below
Pours into the hands of the greedy
They light the match
Ignite the war
Destroying mankind
So easy
What did you think would be your fate
When you never give back
What you take!
Thoughts About This Song…
This one goes out to everyone who’s distressed about the destruction of our beautiful planet. It hits hard. Raw, visceral, and cinematic with powerful emotional drive, “Black Rain” is a protest anthem for a burning world. Mythic and industrial at once, its tender mourning for the pain of the Earth and fierce condemnation of those who threaten it express a duality of stewardship and destruction that must urgently be resolved.
