lyrics

Exhausted after your panicked flight from the tech-wolves, you take a moment to rest in the shade of a dusty outcropping.

From across the plains, you hear a distant sound like static. The static increases in volume until it seems almost deafening. You feel disoriented as a sharp pain stabs at your temples. Your head feels as though it’s being gripped in a vice. You clutch at your head, wanting desperately for it to stop as the intensity rises, doubles, trebles. From nowhere, a memory bursts into your mind. And you remember . . .

You remember standing on a dusty precipice looking down into a valley. A great city lies there, a hundred times bigger than any mud-hut village you’ve ever seen. Then, without warning, a peal of thunder and - Water! Falling! From a slate-grey sky!

At first, you don’t even know how to comprehend what you’re remembering. How strange - A seemingly infinite amount of water, falling ceaselessly in all directions . . . A name appears in your mind like a hoarse whisper - “Rain . . . Rain . . .”

More images tumble in to your mind: Streets and terraces, writing covering the walls and the signs, the rounded symbols familiar and strange all at once. Humans and robots walking side by side in peace, no hand raised against another.

You know where the city is. Even though you don’t know how, you remember. It’s close. Your eyes snap open to a clear blue sky.
