War fell upon an island
When a single handed man
Raped the land of simple men


In the year 1959
Red was more than just a stain

It became hunger pains

As they flew away up high

Tears fell from the sky
And it rained and it rained and it rained and it rained all summer
It rained and it rained and it rained and it rained all night


Hope soon becomes a poison
Working in a factory

Sewing dreams to memories

Far away, in a dying place

A wife will miss her husband's face
Curse her race for their disgrace


As they flew away up high
Tears fell from the sky
And it rained and it rained and it rained and it rained all summer

It rained and it rained and it rained and it rained all night
