I feel the rain descend,
I feel the beginning of it all,
I feel the black of the distant sky,
I feel the coming call.

I feel the filth of our past,
I feel the scum of our days,
I feel the corrupted stench,
I feel anger for our chosen ways.

I feel the heavenly water,
I feel the sin falling free,
I feel life begin again,
I feel new life for you and me.

I feel the words of the prophet,
I feel the futile cry for aid,
I feel drowned in the flood,
I feel the price we paid.

But we brought this on ourselves,
We brought this curse down,
So let the heavens bleed,
Let us all drown.

Tears of a god’s anguish,
Serenade a sea of dark damnation,
Washing away the life he made,
In the brilliant dawn of creation.

I feel the life drop from me,
I feel the pull of the end,
I feel no sorrow for the lost life,
I feel my spirit joyfully transcend…
