THE BETRAYAL OF MAN

my gloomy cloud, she is gonna cry
she moves over the land in search of love
but no one will ever dare to look up
in fear that lightning will fall from the sky
she loves this one little boy with long hair
but is mistakened by her infatuation
and he waits till she is in isolation
then he will jump into his plane and rape her
storm crash what remains
breaking her in and tearing her apart
breaking more things inside than her heart
and now she bleeds out this hurtful, agonized rain
giving up on human kind, the gloomy cloud rolls on
even though there is this other human out there
but the cloud avoids him as he looks up to her
she just rolls on by out of his life bringing the sun
