Devin Townsend
The Stinging Rain
Gentle were the words that set her free
She became the stinging rain
She became the hurricane
Hurricane

A drumming in my sleep
Must I breathe your name always
The last of silence as it tears away at me
All tied in knots
'Cause the simple moments they add up

Awaken
Smash it apart
Awaken
Smash it apart, be free

Gentle were the words that set her free
She became the stinging rain
She became the hurricane
No love lost

Purge you animose
That serpent coiled within my stomach
Temperance fell from her without weight
Gone with the storm
We are not meant to contain the sadness of this world
I whispered in her ear and drew her close
Of calm and quiet walls
I drew her close
Of triangles and bleeding wrists
I drew her close

The drumming in my sleep
Return and be free always
The last of silence always tears away at me
Still tied in knots
'Cause those simple moments they always add up

This will be the end of silence and the very last time
I can promise you that

Awaken and destroy these dreams
Smash it apart, be free
Awaken and destroy these dreams
Awaken and be free

Awaken and be free
Awaken and be free
