Another day in the city of pain

Sharing the life of the mad and insane

I'm closing my eyes in awe of the scenes

I cover my ears in fear of their screams



and I'm waiting



The day does not end and so does the night

that covers the streets in darkness and fright

I'm staying awake while the city sleeps

watching the low life, the pimps and the creeps



And I'm waiting

waiting in vain

and I'm waiting

for the cleansing rain



And I'm praying

praing in vain

and I'm praying

for the cleansing rain



And when I look up I can't see the sky

Stormbringing clouds are piling up high

pouring red rain

forming pools of blood

bringing redemption of the last flood.
