From city limits fireball
Disturbing night dreams
Beneath its baleful eye
Once more in the line of fire
Race red and screaming fire engines
To a scorching winter land
Heralding the rain
Then the cannons came
No rain, no rain, no rain
People fled in droves
Heralding the rain
Hovers the preying sky
Save the life of the cannons resounding
Oh 'neath the brooding sky
Just the fantasy of spring
And in a headless chicken run
A frozen death sleep, then this heat
To the lakes and to the shores
Flames lick closer to the core
Beats down on this buckled land
Still there was no rain
There's no respite from long dark nights
The cannon shot, the cannon crack
Left behind a near ghost town
From the hailstones of summer
Oh, heralding the rain
The cannons aim jabs at the eye
