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 toe the line (toe the line)

We go along (we go along)

We toe the line

To you now

When it rains it pours

Like summer storms

the skies as grey 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 toe the line (toe the line)

We go along (we go along)

We toe the line

To you now

When it rains it pours

Like summer storms

the skies as grey 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 re-born

Like a rose in a storm

Like a child un-born

A child un-born…

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

It's misfortune that we could not foretell

It's the dry spell

When it rains it pours

Like summer storms

the skies as grey 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
