dcd392's video: mewithoutYou - The Dryness and the Rain

First came a strong wind Rippin' off rooftops like bottlecaps And bending lamp posts down to the ground Then came a thunder Shattering my window But you were not that strong wind Or that mighty sound That left the bar in shambles The rabbit hutch in ruins The split-rail fence splintered And the curtains torn All the cows out from the pastures Trampling on the pumpkins And the horses from their stables Ambling in the corn Isa ruhu-lah 'alaihis-salat was-salam I've flown unnoticed just behind you like an insect And I've watched you like a falcon From a distance as you passed You swoop down to be nearer To the traces of your footsteps To pick the fallen grain from the dirt Beneath the crooked grass And I'm going to take that grain I'm going to crush it all together Into the flour of a bread As small and simple and sincere As when the dryness and the rain Finally drink from one another The gentle cup of mutual surrendered tears Come on! A fish swims through the sea While the sea is, in a certain sense Contained within the fish! Oh, what am I to think Of what the writing Of a thousand lifetimes could not explain If all the forest trees were pens And all the oceans, ink? Isa ruhu-lah 'alaihis-salat was-salam Nastagh-firuka ya Hakam Ya Dhal-Jalali wal-Ikram Isa ruhu-lah 'alalihis-salat was-salam Ya Halim, ya Qahhar Ya Muntaqim, ya Ghaffar! La llaha ilallahu, Allahu Akbar!
