Black Rain
Arthemis Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

If I watch the past days of my life I can feel winds of war
Everywhere I turn my head I see revenge
Looking at the thin line that was signed between my thoughts
I realize that it disappears, everything's out of control

I feel hate!

The rain has come without a warning but I still don't understand

What's the reason why it's gonna dirt my hand
Now I hear the screams of the man who should be me
And I want to rise again!

It's the time,
Time for me to break the curse
And to stop the Black Rain fall on to my soul
I wanna change the colours of my life
This night I will expect to see the sun

Now your arms are stronger,
And only now you can start a new life,
But every day you'll pray the Lord your soul to shelter
He will come back... ha ha ha...

And I want to rise again...

It's the time,
Time for me to break the curse
And to stop the Black Rain fall on to my soul

I wanna change the colours of my life
This night I will expect to see the sun
