And now the waves of romance
That I thought we both once shared,
Come crashing down upon me
In a wave of cold despair.
I feel as if I'm drowning,
In a sea of hurt and pain,
This waterfall of memory,
This endless caustic rain,
That pours down from the skies above,
From clouds pure black from hatred,
And winds that cut right through my heart
And into all that's sacred.
The lightning strikes, the thunder roars,
I scream against the wind,
But there's no one to hear me,
As the storm picks up again.
I raise my arms into the air,
To try to catch the rain,
The rain that mixes with my tears
And merges with my pain.
I tried to hold onto our love,
(Don't you see how I need it?)
But like the rain, it melts away,
And now I only bleed it.
As I look to the horizon,
I can see the coming rain,
As a storm begins inside me
And I sense the coming pain.
For every time the rain now falls,
It reminds me of the night
That you ran out into the storm
And ran out of my life.
So now I stand here all alone,
Another storm begins,
But all the rain that ever falls
Won't wash away your sins.
I smell the raindrops in the air,
It smells like blood and dust,
The scent of your betrayal
And the death of sacred trust.
The thunder in the distance,
Like the beating of my heart,
As the memories flash like lightning,
Then return into the dark.
And then it is upon me,
Both the storm and my own torment,
The rain, it falls so hard and fast,
Like thoughts no longer dormant.
