Primal Fear is another strong, solid power metal band, and I really like “Black Rain,” hence its inclusion in the hallowed halls of Metal Tuesday.

Lyrics:

As I watched the rising sun
A walking shadow on the run
There’s no hope and there’s no anger, I’m defenseless
I stand alone out in the cold
Ten more miles on desert sand
The farth still shakes, I hear tank shells explode

Is it just a dead memory
Stranded in the thirty third latitude degree
A few words of truth could never lie
Who will kill me, I’m a refugee alive

In and out, I watch the sky explode
Enough, our mission’s sold
The gushing black rain kills us all
In and out, I watch the sky explode
Enough, our mission’s sold
Even if the black rain kills us all

As men of honor and belief
We never knew our enemies
There’s no reason that’s worth dying for
As I hear the silence break
A so called fight, a big mistake
Or was it just to see another thousand die

Under friendly fire of our own crew
Another day will never come true

In and out, I watch the sky explode
Enough, our mission’s sold
The gushing black rain kills us all
In and out, I watch the sky explode
Enough, our mission’s sold
Even if the black rain kills us all
