Cannons

[Verse 1]

Troubled weather's on its way

Tempests threaten us today

There's no respite from long dark nights

Just the fantasy of spring

From the hailstones of summer

To a scorching winter land

A frozen death sleep, then this heat

Beats down on this bucked land

[Verse 2]

Flames lick closer to the core

From city limits fireball

And in a headless chicken run

Race red and screaming fire engines

Then the cannons came

[Verse 3]

Oh, 'neath the brooding sky

Beneath its baleful eye

The cannon shot, the cannon crack

Disturbing night dreams

[Verse 4]

People fled in droves

To the lakes and to the shores

Left behind a near ghost town

Save the life of the cannons resounding

Still, there was no rain

No rain, no rain, no rain

[Outro]

Once more in the line of fire

Hovers the preying sky

The cannon's aim jabs at the eye

Heralding the rain

Heralding the rain

Oh, herald the rain

Herald the rain
