Mewithoutyou - The Dryness And The Rain lyrics

First came a strong wind, rippin' off rooftops like bottlecaps and bending lamp posts down in the ground. then came a thunder shattering my windows but you were not that strong wind or that might sound You left the bar in shambles, the rabbit hutch in ruins, the split-rail fence splintered and the curtains torn. all the cows out from the pastures trampling of the pumpkins and the horses from their stable ambling in the corn [foreign language chanting:] Isa ruhu-lah 'alaihis-salat was-salam I've flown unnoticed just behind you like an insect And I've watched you like a falcon from a distance as you pa**ed. then swooped down to be nearer, to the traces of the footsteps to pick the fallen grain from the dirt beneath the crooked gra**. And I'm gonna take that grain and I'm gonna crush it all together into the flour of a bread as small and simple and sincere. as when the dryness and the rain finally drink from one another the gentle cup of mutually surrendered tears! A fish swims through the sea while the sea is in a certain sense, contained within the fish! Oh, what am I to think of what the writing of a thousand lifetimes could not explain if all the forest trees were pens and all the oceans - ink? [more foreign language chants:] nastagh-firuka ya Hokan ya Dhal-Jalah wal-Ikram Isa ruhu-lah 'alaihis-salat was-salam ya Halim, ya Qahhar ya Muntaqim, ya Ghaffar! la Ilaha ilallahu, Allahu Akbar!
