Fly away; Enola Gay
Carrying the bomb of judgement day
In their minds they knew it too well
Angels sent from hell
The empire strikes; pacific suprise
Harbour's on fire, a fatal advice
Victory; the world is at stake
A bound that no one could break

Land of the rising sun
Everyone; waiting for the rain
Atomic clouds
Black Rain
Black Rain
Hiroshima; Drowning in Black Rain

A burning child; still alive
Seek the river; for the final dive
Bodies floating out to the sea
Into eternity
All lost in flames, panic and pain
The day turned to night, but here comes the rain
They all drank to borrow some time
Radiated cries

Home of the Samurai
They're warriors; waiting for the rain
Atomic clouds
Black Rain
Black Rain
Hiroshima; Drowning in Black Rain
Hiroshima
Black Rain
Hiroshima

Solo: Haglund

Land of the rising sun
Everyone; waiting for the rain
Atomic clouds
Black Rain
Nuclear dust
Black Rain: They saw it coming down
Black Rain: Over Hiroshima
Black Rain, Coming from heaven
Drinkin in the Black Rain.

I Can't Go To Sleep
Wu-Tang Clan
This song is written as the perspective of the boys in the street, as a whole, and what path they are going to choose as they get older and grow into men. (This is why the music video takes place in an orphanage.) The seen, and unseen collective suffering is imbedded in the boys’ mind, consciously or subconsciously, and is haunting them. Which path will the boys choose? Issac Hayes is the voice of reason, maybe God, the angel on his shoulder, or the voice of his forefathers from beyond the grave who can see the big picture and are pleading with the boys not to continue the violence and pattern of killing their brothers, but to rise above. The most beautiful song and has so many levels. Racism towards African Americans in America would not exist if everyone sat down and listened to this song and understood the history behind the words. The power, fear, pleading in RZA and Ghostface voices are genuine and powerful. Issac Hayes’ strong voice makes the perfect strong father figure, who is possibly from beyond the grave.

Amazing
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran tells a story of unsuccessfully trying to feel “Amazing.” This track is about the being weighed down by emotional stress despite valiant attempts to find some positivity in the situation. This track was written by Ed Sheeran from the perspective of his friend. From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.
