(We Watched) The Silver Rain

We used to care

But things have changed

Where joy should reign

Painted lines on your face

To grasp your gaze restrained

So tranquil the outside rain

Stillborn, my child

Underneath the skull of night

The cold has a voice

The one that made me so old

And sweet determination

That versatile thing

It's not consolation

You are here to learn

We were born in this town

Where we cherished quiet rain

Stories everywhere

Lives were sculpted here

In this town where few know love

Our communality once so strong

Things here have changed

It airs no need to hold

I would like to meet the villain somewhere

He who tore apart

Burn his eyes with fire

And then step back, fall into peace

And watch the silver rain

The tranquil silver rain
