about

I wrote this song in 1991 after the burning of the Kuwaiti oil fields. I use those images to criticize the US administration and its foreign policies. By now it is probably known that I am a strong critic when it come to America; not the people - but the ones who lord over the people and keep them locked in fear.

lyrics

The rain it holds no questions
As darkness fills the skies
This place where death's erupting
Complete the raging lies
It's not for us to judge it
Cantankerous on high
I'll take you on a journey
To touch the darkened skies

The fields are filled with fire
Reaching for the sky
Burning with angered power
Remind us of the lies
Of those who came before us
Their souls are touched by hell
Contented with their absence
Reminded by the smell

The rain it has the answers
It spills out of the sky
And now unto the city
The people choke and cry
There is no explanation
Our journey's come to be
The past is now the future
If only we could see
