Come, now child! All of this is temporary: I am merely a vessel bearing this curse And I can only run for so long Come now Lord, your dwelling place is now with men Send your rain, then open up the sky!
They say you're coming soon, but Lord, it's been so long I'm starting to lose sight The solace of licking my wounds has led me to compromise my faith In all you stood to create
There's no sun or moon, for You will burn so bright We will become shadows in the warmth of your light
I'm tired of being so thin, so in need of constant reassurance To fill the holes in my chest, and I'm cracking I'm finally breaking Oh, let me crumble 'till I'm nothing more than dust And remake me to withstand myself and this separation They say all we have is ourselves, but this is so obviously not enough So many times I've felt like giving up and I'm holding on by my fingertips And I feel like screaming I feel so alone And though I've heard your voice before, for my feeble mind I fear it is not enough
Catch glimpse of a falling star Illuminating the depths of our world And burning away the pestilence of mankind Oh my god, send your rain! There will be no more death or mourning, no more crying or pain For the old order of things has passed away. Write this down:
