Slake The Earth

Pure April rain
Replaced by
Dead April heat
Would it ever rain again?

Black earth cracking
Scorched by the sun
The rivers it drained
Left us dying in the dust.

The world changes when it starts to rain
Green radiates against the grey
And we can find solace from the torch.

But it remained
Sol Invictus
Unconquered idol
Fire orb primordial.

Burning steadfast
In harbouring skies
Blistered vastlands
Reeked of immolation.

The world changes when it starts to rain
Green radiates against the grey
And we can find solace from the torch.

Venite imbriferae ut terram alatis!
Venite nubes ut levamen donetis!

Pluvie, ubi es
Ibi, vita est.

The mist will rise
In a haze, to the sky.

Iubar aureus extulerat Sol
Flabat adhuc eurus...

Then came the rain
And it slaked the Earth
Spewed across the land
And fed the rivers.

So poured the rain
As it slaked the Earth
Rising from the ground
An ethereal fragrance.

Pluvie Optime, multas tibi gratias agimus.
