Rain
On the shore of evermore the
armies march to war
A terrible scene that we’ve
seen many times before
For God country and king the
united voices sing
Doom death and destruction
the fruits they bring
May the heavens open let it
rain
Can sinners be forgiven let
it rain
A baptism of fire ample pain
Life mysteries that none can explain
Let it rain let it rain let it rain
A mother’s weeping bitter
tears flowing as a stream
Her son’s a casualty and thus
dies the dream
She clutches a photograph
he’s in his uniform
How many will perish in this
devilish dark storm
May the heavens open let it
rain
Can sinners be forgiven let
it rain
A baptism of fire ample pain
Life mysteries that none can explain
Let it rain let it rain let it rain
Businessmen with greedy minds
clutch coins of gold
Don’t you know that long ago
their souls they sold
Fluent in lies it’s no
surprise the words they tell
They promise heaven on Earth
bringing only hell
May the heavens open let it
rain
Can sinners be forgiven let
it rain
A baptism of fire ample pain
Life mysteries that none can explain
Let it rain let it rain let it rain
And the child is innocent
pure as a dove
And the child is innocent
secure in love
The tender shoot they pollute
with deceit
A wicked world always to
compete
An innocent man there was in
some distant time
Nailed to the cross telling
the truth his only crime
Sacred saints recorded his
words in a holy book
The profits of today say amen
and never look
May the heavens open let it
rain
Can sinners be forgiven let
it rain
A baptism of fire ample pain
Life mysteries that none can
explain
Let it rain let it rain let it rain
