lyrics

When he was born his father took him to watch the storms
Mapping the transects, gauging wind speed, predicting impact
Sing to me, oh darkened sky
Read the breeze and prophesy

When he was older he went to school to make the forecast
Government bureau, involuntary furlough, mandated cutbacks
Federal disregard
Weather lab in his back yard

The watcher knows our sins
He calculates the wind

Starting this morning, on the scanner, something odd
Radiant signal in the shape of the face of God
Radioactivity
Hades come to make us clean

The watcher knows our sins
He calculates the wind

They said they loved us all along
And they said the weathermen were wrong
And they put us on the cots
And they administered the shots
And they told us God would rise
And they told us we'd survive
And they told us we were safe
When they sent us to the caves
The caves that glow and hum where they mined the uranium

And when he realized the winged policemen were no longer ours
He joined the air force, released the chem trails, poisoned the flowers

And by the autumn he'd forgotten why we fought

The watcher knows our sins
He calculates the wind
