Everybody, have you heard the news About the war that will ensue
Tell your children, tell your mothers Tell your fathers, tell his lovers
About the black rain falling down Black rain falling down
Can you hear the sound Of the black rain falling down
Like a train, it rolls on For you know it will be gone
Oh, it's thirsty like a fire And it's driven by desire
There's a black rain falling down Black rain falling down
Can you hear the sound Of the black rain falling down
Sparks of lightning, crash of thunder Ain't no shelter to hide under
People wail, babies cry And the blood falls from the sky
There's a black rain falling down Black rain falling down
Can you hear the sound Of the black rain falling down
Kings on their thrones Move a pawn, but they're alone
In the castle where they hide When it's time to take a side
There's a black rain falling down Black rain falling down
Can you hear the sound Of the black rain falling down
Sparks of lightning, crash of thunder Ain't no shelter to hide under
People wail, babies cry And the blood falls from the sky
There's a black rain falling down Black rain falling down
Can you hear the sound Of the black rain falling down
Sparks of lightning, crash thunder Ain't no shelter to hide under
People wail, babies cry And the blood falls from the sky
There's a black rain falling down Black rain falling down
Can you hear the sound Of the black rain falling down
