Historia Calamitatum

Even though we know, yeah, we know

Our time has almost come

We're all overdue

Can there be a place to call our own?

Can there be a road that takes us home?

We tow the line (We tow the line)

We go along (We go along)

We don't belong to you now

When it rains, it pours like summer storms

The skies as gray as leaves

The rivers flood the banks and spill into the streets

But the people laughed and swore that they'd restore the city piece by piece

And then the clouds gave way, as if to agree

When it rains, it pours

The mystery unknown now unfolds

The life that we once owned, first bought then sold

Like messengers of war, we've no control

To oceans unexplored, this ship sails through

We tow the line (We tow the line)

We go along (We go along)

We don't belong to you now

When it rains, it pours like summer storms

The skies as gray as leaves

The rivers flood the banks and spill into the streets

But the people laughed and swore that they'd restore the city piece by piece

And then the clouds gave way, as if to agree

When it rains, it pours

It pours

It pours

When it rains, it pours

When they die, we mourn

When it hit, we swore

Now we want not more

Like a saint reborn

Like a rose in a storm

Like a child unborn

A child unborn

It's the coin we're tossing into the well

It's misfortune that we could not foretell

It's a dry spell

When it rains, it pours like summer storms

The skies as gray as leaves

The rivers flood the banks and spill into the streets

But the people laughed and swore that they'd restore the city piece by piece

And then the clouds gave way, as if to agree

When it rains, it pours

It pours

When it rains, it pours
