Devastation in the gardens
A virgin beast betrayed cries out in need
What have you done to my existence?
Where evolution now evolves from greed
When the moon above the jungle
Wipes the final tear from heaven's eyes
Who will save the children? The children cry
(92 days of rain) falling down on me
There will be
(92 days of rain) driving us to our knees
(Wash away the hunger)
Baby won't you heel our souls
(God looks back in anger at the roads we've chose)
O, I will always believe in the light
Sun's gonna shine
I know it will one day, I know
From the bible like Noah before us
Where today march all the prophet's men?
Selfish my compassion
All my reasons, all my ambivalence
Tell me why I turn my face
For shelter by the easy shore?
Tell my why all this crying I ignore?
(92 days of rain) falling down on me
There will be
(92 days of rain) driving us to our knees
(Wash away the hunger)
Baby won't you heal our souls
God looks back in anger at the roads we've chose
(92 days of rain) falling down on me
