“Pray For Rain” is the first track off of Brit trip-hop duo Massive Attack’s latest album Heligoland (2010). Tunder Adebimpe of TV on the Radio provides monotonic, yet somehow soulful, vocals for this genuinely hypnotic mix of rolling drum/bass and apocalyptic story arc.

Pray For Rain Lyrics
[Verse 1: Tunde Adebimpe]
In deepest hollows of our minds
A system failure left behind
[Refrain: Tunde Adebimpe]
And their necks crane
As they turn to pray for rain
And their necks crane
[Verse 2: Tunde Adebimpe]
Dull residue of what once was
A shattered cloud of swirling doves
[Refrain: Tunde Adebimpe]
And their eyes change
As they learn to see through flames
And their necks crane
As they turn to pray for rain
And their eyes change
As they learn to see through flames
And their necks crane
As they turn to pray for rain
[Interlude: Tunde Adebimpe]
Drops on rocks fall fast and fleeting
Hearts and wings commence to beating
What's unseen with all believing
Vision walls fall all receding
Vision walls fall all receding
Drops on rocks come fast and fleeting
Rhythm laws unleash the meaning
Usher us into the dreaming
Vision walls fall all receding
Hearts and wings commence to beating
All unending, all completing
Vision walls fall fast and fleeting
Vision walls fall all revealing
Vision walls fall all revealing
Vision walls fall all revealing
Vision walls fall all revealing
[Non-Lyrical Bridge: Tunde Adebimpe]
[Verse 3: Tunde Adebimpe]
In deepest hollows of our minds
A system failure left behind
Dull residue of what once was
A shattered cloud of swirling doves
[Refrain: Tunde Adebimpe]
And their eyes change
As they learn to see through flames
And their necks crane
As they pray for rain

3D on Tunde’s lyrics in Pray for Rain [The Independent – February 2010]:
I can relate to the lyrics in “Pray For Rain” a lot. Lyrically, it’s like a parable and it kind of reminds me a bit of Cormac McCarthy’s Blood Meridian: a kind of crazy apocalyptic Western with a sense of connection with the s...
