Black rain
Floods the downs
Ferrets burrows
Moles make mounds
Round your bones
Deep underground
Nobody knows
Nobody knows
How I wait for you
Summer, spring
Autumn, winter
Here perishing

Gypsy, stray
Bleak orphan
No one could say
The land you came from
But deep in my arms
You belonged
But nobody knows
Nobody knows
How I wait for you
Summer, spring
Autumn, winter
Here perishing

My god damned
Damaris
Killed with last kiss
God damned
Damaris
I loved you

Goddamn these tears
And this religion
Thought I was more
Than just my father's son
Who says in limbo
Be where you've gone
Nobody knows
Nobody knows
Here I wait for you
Summer, spring
Autumn, winter
Here perishing

Wait for me

My god damned
Damaris
Killed with last kiss
God damned
Damaris
I loved you

God damned
Damaris
Killed with last kiss
God damned
Damaris
I loved you
I loved you

And now I kiss
I kiss the earth

Oh rise up
Rise up
Rise up
Now
From the earth

And I smash my fist
Into the earth

Oh rise up
Rise up
Rise up
Now
From the earth

Rise up...


Black rain
Floods the downs
The black rain
Black rain
Black rain
Floods the downs
Black rain
Black rain

    This is such a good song. I bought the CD today and I'm having so much trouble finding a favourite. The whole thing is fantastic.
