Stands there a smaller city upon rivers
In the mountains there, men forged steel under a ghastly shadow
When the rains came
Tragedy was forewritten
For men had declared the river a lake
And when the rains came, the river reclaimed itself
No barrier built knows the truth of Earth, Water and Sun
When eyes closed and Life laid down en masse
The city, scarred and horrified, became a dire warning
Remembered still by my people
When the rains come again
Will the next river break free

Stands there a smaller city upon rivers
In the mountains there, men forged steel under a ghastly shadow
When the rains came
Tragedy was forewritten
For men had declared the river a lake
And when the rains came, the river reclaimed itself
No barrier built knows the truth of Earth, Water and Sun
When eyes closed and Life laid down en masse
The city, scarred and horrified, became a dire warning
Remembered still by my people
When the rains come again
Will the next river break free
In the mountains there, men forged steel under a ghastly shadow
When the rains came
Tragedy was forewritten
For men had declared the river a lake
And when the rains came, the river reclaimed itself
No barrier built knows the truth of Earth, Water and Sun
When eyes closed and Life laid down en masse
The city, scarred and horrified, became a dire warning
Remembered still by my people
When the rains come again
Will the next river break free
