Lyrics
0:19Troubled weather's on its way
0:22Tempests threaten us today
0:25There's no respite from long dark nights
0:28Just the fantasy of spring
0:31From the hailstones of summer
0:34To a scorching winter land
0:37A frozen death sleep then this heat
0:40Beats down on this buckled land
0:50Flames lick closer to the core
0:53From city limits fireball
0:56And in a headless chicken run
0:59Race red and screaming fire engines
1:05Then the cannons came
1:13Oh 'neath the brooding sky
1:17Beneath its baleful eye
1:20The cannon shot the cannon crack
1:24Disturbing night dreams
1:51People fled in droves
1:53To the lakes and to the shores
1:57Left behind a near ghost town
1:59Save the life of the cannons resounding
2:05Still there was no rain
2:10No rain no rain no rain
2:14Once more in the line of fire
2:18Hovers the preying sky
2:21The cannons aim jabs at the eye
2:27Heralding the rain
2:36Heralding the rain
2:42Oh heralding the rain
2:48Heralding the rain
Troubled weather's on its way Tempests threaten us today There's no respite from long dark nights Just the fantasy of spring From the hailstones of summer To a scorching winter land A frozen death sleep then this heat Beats down on this buckled land Flames lick closer to the core From city limits fireball And in a headless chicken run Race red and screaming fire engines Then the cannons came Oh 'neath the brooding sky Beneath its baleful eye The cannon shot the cannon crack Disturbing night dreams People fled in droves To the lakes and to the shores Left behind a near ghost town Save the life of the cannons resounding Still there was no rain No rain no rain no rain Once more in the line of fire Hovers the preying sky The cannons aim jabs at the eye Heralding the rain Heralding the rain Oh heralding the rain Heralding the rain
