There is a river
Deep in my valley
Jagged rapids
And the bony salmon
Splash upstream
But never spawn
Never spawn, no
Rock velvet in sky
In my unstable valley
The lava is alive
Shallow beneath the dirt
Crystal glacier
Pure and ancient
Moves an inch a year
All it can muster
It's a monument
It's a monument
Rain on fire
Rain on fire
Rain on fire
Rain on fire
There is a meteor
Deep in this canyon
A jagged jewel
Just inches under crust
A dream never dreamt
Never dreamed, no
From some foreign sky
Some unstable system
Light years of travel
Shallow beneath the dirt
Atoms bashing
Pure and ancient
They won't mine it yet
We won't mind it yet
It's a monument
It's a monument
Rain on fire
Rain on fire
Rain on fire
Rain on fire
Rain down
Sideways
And the wind's carving ice
And a team of scientists
Dressed for the freezing cold
Find evidence of life
Rain on fire
Rain on fire
Rain on fire
Rain on fire
Rain on fire
Just like blood
Rain on fire
Rain on fire
