lyrics

The rain it came the rain it fell
the factories all washed to hell
the rain it came the rain it poured
remain at home remain indoors

The castle walls are crumbling down
the castles all are crumbling now
the prison gates are washed away
don't be alarmed don't be afraid

God is taking what he gave
but you can keep what you made
God is taking what you threw away
but light a fire you'll be safe

There are fires burning in the automobiles
they'll keep us warm though they keep still
what transportation there's nowhere to go
remain indoors remain at home

The king's bright robes have been washed away
and you can see his fat and pockmarked frame
but he'll lead us through our darkest days
don't be alarmed don't be afraid

A song rings out through the driving rain
the song always remains the same
it's the song of peoples' hard earned pain
the song we'll never sing again

For when the waters rise they cleanse
gluttony and sloth and then
when they recede they leave the clay
don't be alarmed don't be afraid
