Jackopierce - Rain Lyrics
"Silent rows of strengh thy men stood clearThe fog clung to the groundTo the sounds it could hearThe footstep, the hoof beat, the steel under skyThe whistle, the birdcall, the severe look in the eyesHe's nineteen years old, he's got a gun at his sideThe more he looks around he knows the president liedSeduced him, reduced him appealed to the manWith vivid colored fliers and bright arm bandsThey will meet them in the trenchesBut they won't meet eye to eyeLooking down the barrels the opposition will cryThere's hatred in the morning, blood flows in the dayThey will all return home andThe skies will give way forRain, it flows downCleansing, freedom, childrenRainThere's disdain, propane, powder and shotRacism runs free but love is left to rotThere's a mad house, a play house, a place for the oldGot a place for the hungry and a place for the coldI'm diving, I'm sinking down into the seaIt will rise up to heaven and come back down on me asYes, Rain, it flows downCleansing, Freedom, ChildrenRainShe walks into the garage, pulls the door to the groundEases behind the wheel and she puts the seat downIgnition, submissions, salut it's time to sendHer poor grieving parents will never see her againIt's late night, there's pistols, there's daggers and drugsI'll kill nine, I'll take mine, no police, no mugsIt's Greenwich, it's Dallas, it's Beverly HillsBlood lives taken for sweet, short thrillsRain, it flows downCleansing, freedom, childrenRainThere's disdain, propane, powder and shotRacism runs free but love is left to rotThere's a mad house, a play house, a place for the oldGot a place for the hungry and a place for the coldI'm diving, I'm sinking down into the seaIt will rise up to heaven and come back down on me asRain, it flows downCleansing, freedom, childrenRainHomelifeHer showSkylightRain"
