    Holy mother
    Receive our hearts in your arms
    And let our souls pass
    The day the rain returns again
    Holy mother
    Receive our hearts in your arms
    And let our souls pass
    The day the rain returns again
    We pass down our wisdom
    After sunshine comes thunder
    The longer the drought
    The heavier the clouds
    Collecting water in glass
    Counting the days against the crops that last
    A dwarf shoot yawns at the sky
    Daring a stratonimbus in the vicinity to spit on it
    When Earth is submerging
    And heaven is open
    The river will carry all of us to
    Where we belong
    But then a shadow is cast
    Over the fields a shower first
    Then a torrent crashes down
    Releasing the jungle swelling in the ground
    And as was foretold our time is out
    Holy mother
    Receive our hearts in your arms
    And let our souls pass
    The day the rain returns again
    Holy mother
    Receive our hearts in your arms
    And let our souls pass
    The day the rain returns again
    Holy mother
    Receive our hearts in your arms
    And let our souls pass
    The day the rain returns again
    Holy mother
    Receive our hearts in your arms
    And let our souls pass
    The day the rain returns again
    We pass down our wisdom
    After sunshine comes thunder
    The longer the drought
    The heavier the clouds
    When Earth is submerging
    And heaven is open
    The river will carry all of us to
    Where we belong
    And no-one shall be left over
    (Where we belong)
    For the river’s too strong
    (Where we belong)
    I trust mother to know
    (Where we belong)
    So watch the raindrops

      then comes "bonito singularity" where it's _supposed_ to be a bunch of different songs about how robots took over the *_inferior_** humans* but it ends up being a bunch of noises put together into one song (because it's a singularity, remember) with no human voice

    One of the best songs I've ever heard, this sounds straight out of FFVII and Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind (which I believed inspired the Final Fantasy series to being with). This is one of KKB's most profund and emotional songs, the beat is beautiful and Sarah's lyrics got me crying here (and I think I'm a cynical dude), we gotta preserve this planet.

      I'm also so happy of that, as much as I loved Time N Place I really hoped they'd come back with english/japanese lyrics because it's just a perfect mixture.

    Holy shit, I love this. I got into Kero because of the sound of Time and Place, very old style British Pop XTC feel, but this is actually more into the electronic music I usually like. I like a handful of songs from their original style, so I feel for fans who really liked that stuff and it's just been abandoned, but I don't know I think it is totally worth it for this evolution!
