Black Rain
Primal Fear Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
A walking shadow on the run
There's no hope and there's no anger, I'm defenseless
I stand alone out in the cold
Ten more miles on desert sand
The farth still shakes, I hear tank shells explode
Is it just a dead memory
A few words of truth could never lie
Who will kill me, I'm a refugee alive
In and out, I watch the sky explode
Enough, our mission's sold
The gushing black rain kills us all
In and out, I watch the sky explode
Enough, our mission's sold
Even if the black rain kills us all
As men of honor and belief
We never knew our enemies
There's no reason that's worth dying for
As I hear the silence break
A so called fight, a big mistake
Or was it just to see another thousand die
Under friendly fire of our own crew
Another day will never come true
In and out, I watch the sky explode
Enough, our mission's sold
The gushing black rain kills us all
In and out, I watch the sky explode
Enough, our mission's sold
Even if the black rain kills us all
The song "Black Rain" by Primal Fear discusses the dangers of war and the consequences of putting oneself in harm's way. The first stanza sets the mood with a desolate tone, as the singer is alone in a cold, unforgiving desert. There is no hope and no anger; he is defenseless. The second stanza brings up the idea of memory, but questions whether those memories that seem dead are actually entirely gone. Then the singer's life is threatened by the black rain, which symbolizes the power and destruction of war. The last stanza is a realization that even if the singers were serving their country with honor and belief, it is still not enough to justify the death and destruction that come with war.
The lyrics to "Black Rain" are a commentary on the cost of war, both tangible and intangible. On the one hand, soldiers put their lives on the line, often for causes they may not fully understand or truly believe in. On the other hand, wars have far-reaching consequences that affect people long after the last shot has been fired. Through the use of powerful imagery, the song emphasizes the devastation that war can bring, both to the individuals who serve in the military as well as to the larger population.

A long, difficult journey over unforgiving terrain.

As I hear the silence break
A sudden realization of the pain and suffering around me.
A so called fight, a big mistake
The conflict may not be worth the cost.
Or was it just to see another thousand die
The motivation for the conflict may be twisted and unjust.
Under friendly fire of our own crew
Even allies can prove dangerous and deadly.
Another day will never come true
The future is uncertain, and tomorrow may never come.

Yeah they’re awesome Magnus Karlsson and Henny Wolter are great guitarists Stefan Leibing and Henny Wolter were great too it’s sad that Stefan retired from music after he left the band in 2008 he left because he wanted to spend more time with his family and business but family comes first I respect his decision to leave the band since 2016 he plays guitar again for himself and as of last year he is a mixer engineer he recently mixed Nitrogods live album Magnus Karlsson is great too but I miss Stefan Henny Tom and Stefan were a great guitar duo same as Magnus Tom and Alex in Primal Fear too

Love this song from the very first time. It's a little different than what they usually do, let's say like "Tears Of Rage", "The Healer" or "Fighting The Darkness"...
