[Verse 1: Tunde Adebimpe]

In deepest hollows of our minds

A system failure left behind

[Refrain: Tunde Adebimpe]

And their necks crane

As they turn to pray for rain

And their necks crane

[Verse 2: Tunde Adebimpe]

Dull residue of what once was

A shattered cloud of swirling doves

[Refrain: Tunde Adebimpe]

And their eyes change

As they learn to see through flames

And their necks crane

As they turn to pray for rain

And their eyes change

As they learn to see through flames

And their necks crane

As they turn to pray for rain

[Interlude: Tunde Adebimpe]

Drops on rocks fall fast and fleeting

Hearts and wings commence to beating

What's unseen with all believing

Vision walls fall all receding

Vision walls fall all receding

Drops on rocks come fast and fleeting

Rhythm laws unleash the meaning

Usher us into the dreaming

Vision walls fall all receding

Hearts and wings commence to beating

All unending, all completing

Vision walls fall fast and fleeting

Vision walls fall all revealing

Vision walls fall all revealing

Vision walls fall all revealing

Vision walls fall all revealing

[Non-Lyrical Bridge: Tunde Adebimpe]

[Verse 3: Tunde Adebimpe]

In deepest hollows of our minds

A system failure left behind

Dull residue of what once was

A shattered cloud of swirling doves

[Refrain: Tunde Adebimpe]

And their eyes change

As they learn to see through flames

And their necks crane

As they pray for rain
