lights blur shifting slightly, always the rain
he's there hunting nightly, driven by pain
burns fast shining brightly, dies in vain
he's there, speaking lightly of life in pain
bionic killer the spider in his net
comes to his maker as close as he can get
weak little creatures speaking with god
their cries so insane, their prayers just in vain
'cause I am the replicant, to hell with the gods
too late to escape, too late to regret
no time to hide, no time to forget
lights blur shifting slightly, always the rain
he's there hunting nightly, driven by pain
the rain, always the rain
your pain sustained
he's there hunting nightly, driven by pain
burns fast shining brightly, dies in vain
he's there, speaking lightly of life in pain
comes to his maker as close as he can get
weak little creatures speaking with god
their cries so insane, their prayers just in vain
'cause I am the replicant, to hell with the gods
no time to hide, no time to forget
lights blur shifting slightly, always the rain
he's there hunting nightly, driven by pain
your pain sustained

Definite allusions to BladeRunner. :)
One of my favorite early Covenant songs.
Some very strong specific allusions to Blade Runner.
Specifically Roy Batty's "Tears in the Rain" monolog also referenced in Covenant's song title "Tears in the Rain."
"too late to escape, too late to regret no time to hide, no time to forget lights blur shifting slightly, always the rain he's there hunting nightly, driven by pain"
References the ending scene in the abandoned hotel and Batty's monolog, especially the part about the shifting lights (from the overhead adblimp in the movie on the rooftop) and the rain.
"Comes to his maker as close as he can get," and, " burns fast shining brightly, dies in vain he's there, speaking lightly of life in pain" refer to the conversation with Dr. Tyrell, namely Tyrell's comment "the candle that burns twice as bright burns half as long, and you have burned so very brightly, Roy" and Tyrell's ultimate demise.
