Lyrics
Twisted Rain
Verse 1
Looking out beyond a black sheet of rain,
Can't see the way to sea, hear the whistle of night's last train
Familiar faces flash like lanterns, in a deep and heavy dark
There's nobody there, not a soul for miles, watching me depart
Verse 2
Arrows fly above, trucks carry dreams below
Communications gone, there's a ringing in my head
Hearing strange noises like an eagle over high ground
Fire in their feathers, steam beneath their claws as they spiral down
Chorus
It's hard to know what's right
in this stranger land
it's hard to be restrained
staring at a blood red moon
I taste the twisted rain
Verse 3
Moving through my eyes, the blood of their souls
Passing through the curtain, to another blind side
Treading thin air with the devil, his rotten red dust around me
Lighting speed now, water masks anger, panic stricken flees
Instrumental Break
Verse 4
Strip the screens from my face please let me see
Making stories in a land where all there is is fear
Filling inch by inch, and pushing down dirty keys
Placed between the lines, a lost life dying for the next release
Chorus
It's hard to know what's right
in this stranger land
it's hard to be restrained
staring at a blood red moon
I taste the twisted rain
