Solved: War fell upon an island...

when I sing of handy man
who worked the land
a simple man
In the year ....1969
red was more than just a stain
it became
hunger pains
As they threw away a life
tears fell from the sky
Rain, Let it rain, Let it rain, Let it rain,
All Summer
Rain, Let it rain, Let it rain, Let it rain,
All night
Rain, Let it rain, Let it rain, Let it rain,
All Summer
Rain, Let it rain, Let it rain, Let it rain,
All Nih-hi-hi-hi-ight

Hope
Soon becomes a poison
Working in the factories
[something something]
and memories
Far away
In a dying place
Wife will miss her husband's face
Cursed her race
For their disgrace

As they threw away a life
tears fell from the sky
Rain, Let it rain, Let it rain, Let it rain,
All Summer
Rain, Let it rain, Let it rain, Let it rain,
All night
Rain, Let it rain, Let it rain, Let it rain,
All Summer
Rain, Let it rain, Let it rain, Let it rain,
All Nih-hi-hi-hi-ight
