RIDER OF THE RAIN

Verse I

The first cold current touched the plain,Before the sky remembered rain.The daylight folded into slate,As silent giants sealed their fate.No distant bell, no final cry,Only circling wings on a lifeless sky.The tempest opened like a gate...I crossed before the world could wait.

Chorus

I am the Rider of the RainDiving into the Night.I leave no footsteps to remain.I drift beyond the final light.

Guitar Solo I

Verse II

Granite thrones dissolved to sand,The ocean claimed the tallest land.Empty windows faced the tide,Watching centuries collide.Every monument became a scar,Every beacon lost its star.The storm erased what stone had sworn...Yet still another cloud was born.

Breakdown I

Nothing asks.Nothing pleads.The gale inherits fallen creeds.Every silence learns to sing...Beneath the weight of everything.

Chorus

I am the Rider of the RainDiving into the Night.I leave no footsteps to remain.I drift beyond the final light.

Guitar Solo II

Verse III

Beyond the maps of tide and flame,The heavens wore no ancient frame.Dark horizons slowly turned,Where frozen galaxies once burned.The sea climbed upward into space,Leaving neither trail nor place.Only motion shaped the void...Where every ending was destroyed.

Guitar Solo III

Verse IV

The thunder lowered into sleep,While unborn storms began to breathe.Ashen clouds embraced the dawn,Long before the night had gone.The circle never sought release,It carried neither war nor peace.When the first drop kissed the plain...I rode forever with the rain.

Breakdown II

No horizon...No return...Every sky is left to burn.No farewell...No refrain...Only the Rider...Only the Rain.

Final Chorus

I am the Rider of the RainDiving into the Night.I leave no footsteps to remain.I drift beyond the final light.

When the heavens darken once again,You'll never see me...Only the rain.
