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
