Carl Barât And The Jackals - A Storm Is Coming

Rain, rain, rain for forty days
To wash away the faithless sons
They say when all is said and done
The rains will come, the rains will come

Tiger, tiger burning bright
A reckoning will come tonight
We're born with masks and bred to lie
One has to try, the heavens sigh

I don't mind
I know a storm is coming
Things won't ever be the same again

You can't run this time
It has to be now or never
Sooner or later it has to end

I saw your mark, it's on the wall
So nothing else will hurt at all
When they all go the other way
This world is ours and we will stay

The cloud throws up a dying sky
The rivers rise, the flames are high
Now they can sail with all the thieves
And we can watch the last ship leave

But I don't mind
I know a storm is coming
Things won't ever be the same again

You can't run this time
It has to be now or never
Sooner or later it has to end

But I don't mind
I know a storm is coming
Things won't ever be the same again

You can't run this time
It has to be now or never
Sooner or later it has to end

But I don't mind
I know a storm is coming
Things won't ever be the same again

I won't run this time
It has to be now or never
Sooner or later it has to end
