First Rains - Seventh Star

I stood in the biggest house on the highest hill

My arms in the air

Face to the sun

Content within my own

Not knowing the color of night

On the horizon

Dark clouds billowed forth

Then the rains came down

I shouted for joy as I always had

But the rains did not stop

My joy turned to horror

The thunder clapped

The lightening struck

Waters raised in the valleys below

The innocent died

The women cried

Currents destroyed everything

But the biggest house on the highest hill

At first I wept for day

Then I cursed the rain

Then I hated the name

Of the one who brought me pain

For the first time I saw black

In the abyss around me No longer did I love the sun

But I wished to be one with the dark

As I descended off my plank

I could see my fickle heart

Between the white of foam

And the waves of dark

And the rains died down

A new light after the rains came down
