Topic 10: Song "Dawn"

"Piove" or "Dawn"
(It is Italian for 'Rain')

The rain is beating the drums of time
breaking my illusions
that leave me empty inside
in the sorrows of my peace.

The wallpaper,
like clockwork, fades
into the fitful screams we had
that erode my memory of you.

Dawn, where have you gone?
Dawn, why won't you cry on me?
I was your disciple
why can't you see?
You'll always be the breath in me.

In the deafening silence numbing my lungs
you're still a world away.
from the solace of your earthen bed
Never let me rest in peace.

Your tires squealed.
You broke like glass.
The Rubicon was crossed;
Now there's no turning back.

Dawn, why won't you talk to me?
Just stay and yell till the walls break down.
Don't drive away
into that Omega scream
to stay lodged in my memory.

The churchyard now is empty
Where was that faith we knew?
why did you have to leave my anger
to lose your place in time.

My sharpened tears
a swollen, flooding fury
become all that's left of you.

Dawn, why can't you learn forgiveness now?
under this umbrella of rain.
Drown me in the Stygian Sea
if it will bring you back to me.

Dawn, my light
kill me and set me free.
