Rain

We've dressed ourselves in coats and shades We've marked the fields for laugh and play We've claimed our fortune And settled for a resemblance of peace We've bended steel and things we don't see We've dug a hole in history All the monuments and pylons Got us raised above the continuity Yet we fall, fall in the rain It burns, blood in our veins We slide Try to remain The same This place is perfectly composed The streets are paved, the dams are closed Though we fear gods and earthquakes We build to keep us unexposed A presence scattered all around A motion picture with a muted sound We hurt our minds and not our bodies We bite, but we have ceased to bleed Yet we fall, fall in the rain It burns, blood in our veins We slide Try to remain The same Yet we fall, fall in the rain It pours, blood in our veins We slide Try to remain Sane Someone left their notes revealed But they don't speak of cuts or deals Or how to run this great machine It's all a puzzle with an extra piece We stand tall, called to the campaign While gold, guns and blood run through our veins We're the pioneers Inventors of our name Yet we fall, fall in the rain It drives, blood in our veins We slide Try to remain Humane
