Rain, the gift of our forbidden god Grants no compassion, no humility Our souls filled with a burning wrath And the promise of our divinity But a silent voice now weeps within It prays; forgiveness for our sins For our lands left ravaged in our wake...
[Chorus:] And so I stand My heart filled with hate for eternity And so I stand My soul still denies my mortality And so I shall fall Alone and bound to envy all I did not understand
And I feel pain, that solace of a tainted conscience It grants a glimpse of resentful reality: Our God, long since fallen A lost path, a lie of divinity And I see it die I hear it weep In waters deep
[Chorus:] And last, I stand As the final beacon of man Through remorse, through the shame The guilt of aeons in my name The grief of aeons That rends apart the heart The art of man perfected
And pain fades away A castaway I am to stay
In that name I became what nature abhors In vain I now raise my fist against it all But I see, through the eyes of a storm, afar A father's scorn, a mother's call And I'm filled with reverence as I fall The temple trembled as time did stall Its last keeper becomes one with the stars A grave; the peace for the restless
[Chorus:] At last, I stand The pitch-blakc rain can't cleanse my broken blood-stained hands And last, I fall And see it all...
