The Rapture


it was ll in the rain 
it was in her eyes 
tears dropped in anguish and distress 
in the nerves of pain was boiling the warmth of grace 
we run against the tide 
severed with the losses of logic 
love left me unimpressed 
i keep on walking the path of tragedy 

let me attend let me represent 
my muse lays dead down on the brimstone row 
wounded night let your children descend 
arteries cut, now let the inspirations flow 
we run against the tide 
severed with the losses of logic 
love left me unimpressed 
i keep on walking the path of tragedy 

before the last breath -inhale 
before the final death -exhale 
can you live with the lie and still keep your faith? 
did you think you could fly without any damage done? 
you can't beat the burden of the lonely so you'd open the gate? 
find yourself relevant in the world that is gone? 
did you think you could fly without any damage done? 
rain runs its tracks to the ground in which you'll eternally dwell 

"angels... they never existed 
my belief is not enough twisted 
to hold up such religious characters. 
what were you thinking of?" 
[Timothy Findley] 

a great stone by the tree details carved 
no candlelight beside 
for frozen rains look'd after that its fire would starve 
like the blaze she died 
no more run against the tide 
only the grandeur of abiding 
she keeps on lying beneath the trails of rain... 
lifeless.... silent
