2024 vai ser um ano de muito trabalho para Bruce Dickinson. Além de seus compromissos com o Iron Maiden, incluindo dois shows no Brasil em dezembro, o vocalista também reativou sua carreira solo e ele acaba de dar mais uma amostra do que vem por aí.
"Rain On The Graves", é a segunda música de "The Mandrake Project" que o cantor libera. Assim como "Afterglow Of Ragnarok" a canção mostra um Dickinson um pouco diferente daquele que o público vê no Maiden. O som continua pesado, mas de maneira mais direta e menos "épica" do que aqauele praticado pela banda onde ele canta, com uma pausa em meados dos anos 90, desde 1982.
"The Mandrake Project", o primeiro trabalho solo de Dickinson em quase duas décadas, sai no dia 1° de março e ele tamém irá mostrá-lo no Brasil. Os shows, sete no total, acontecem entre os dias 24 de abril e 4 de maio (datas e informações aqui)

Confira a letra da canção:
Rain On The Graves (Bruce Dickinson)
In a country churchyard I came across a man He smiled and slowly beckoned me With a trembling hand Did you come to gamble Or did you come to pray What's the meaning of your business here On a stormy day The raindrops spattered on the tomb From grey and leaden Skies Deny me once, deny me twice But don't look in my eyes...
There is rain on the graves There is rain on the graves There is rain on the graves It's just rain, rain, rain There is rain on the graves But you came to be saved There is rain on the graves Let it wash your soul of dying
Faithless, he denied the truth That he had come to steal To kneel before the poet Not the altar or the priest He's washed himself in misery Before he came to pray He'd hoped in his false penitence Some sympathy he'd sway
There is rain on the graves There is rain on the graves There is rain on the graves It's just rain, rain, rain There is rain on the graves But you came to be saved There is rain on the graves It's just rain, rain, rain
I am the God of sinners You are what I have made You're talking to your likeness And my shadow is your shade Stand up and face the mirror It's the image that you crave But i'll be here when you're long gone I'll see you in that grave Ha, ha, ha
There is rain on the graves There is rain on the graves There is rain on the graves It's just rain, rain, rain There is rain on the graves Rain on the graves There is rain on the graves
