Let it Come Down

Such are the fragments of our desires

That we are willing to lose ourselves

In a sky where the rain clouds fall in

A light shines in the distance

As we shrug off the last traces of our humanity

Turning our backs against ourselves

Is it always this easy for us

Readying ourselves for this nights work

Today one man

Will tomorrow be a night of broken glass

What then becomes of us after that

The distant light is not as distant as before

The ghost of recrimination is silenced

By the shouts of “This is different” “These are other times”

And the print of paper tigers

How can this be bigger than us

When we are meant to be bigger than that

Suddenly the light is upon us

But its far too late

We have turned our backs against reality

Amid the air raid sirens and glow sticks

It will be rain tonight

By then the only shelter will be in cattle trucks

On railways with glistening wet steel rails

The only sound is the blowing of whistles

To go into the darkness

The one place our naivety thought we had come from

Let it come down they say

Banquo : “it will be rain tonight”

1^st Murderer : “Let it come down”
