The Rain

(Music written and recorded in 2007 by Agrippa)

The Rain was recorded in 2007 when Agrippa93 was a solo project. The song is part of the 2004-2008 Recording Sessions collection.

Lyrics: The theme of The Rain is dealing with all the negativity that life throws at you in spite of keeping a positive outlook. It’s keeping hope alive in the face of tragedies in life and finding even the smallest thing to take hold of to pull through each day.

Lyrics written by Agrippa in 2007.

Things best forgotten

Cleansed by the rain that floods my soul

Soaked through and rotten

I dream that I can take control

Take control

Dark clouds above me

I praise the calm before the storm

The calm before

The storm

And now the rain falls on me gently like ashes

And then the rain turns into ice and stings my skin

Submerged in water

I thought the rain would wash my soul

I was mistaken

It seemed the water filled the hole

Filled the hole

Dark clouds above me

I praise the calm before the storm

The calm before

The storm

And now the rain falls on me gently like ashes

And then the rain turns into ice and stings my skin

For now if that’s what’s left i’ll take it…the pain

Let it rain

I was certain

It followed me

From life through death

To life again

There are always rain clouds in my sky

It’s been pouring

It’s drowning me

Wash it away and start again

I thought I paid my debt in pain…in pain

let it rain

And now the rain falls on me gently like ashes

And then the rain turns into ice and stings my skin

For now if that’s what’s left i’ll take it…the pain

Let it rain

And now the rain falls on me gently like ashes

And then the rain turns into ice and stings my skin

For now if that’s what’s left i’ll take it… the pain

Let it rain
