Originally released November 29, 2019, this is the song that kicked off The Infancy. The project was built on the idea, and the realization, that not everything has to be done yourself. Today, you don't need to have a band in order for your songs to come to life. So I hired professional musicians all across the world to record the missing parts.

About the song production
There are two versions of the song, the original release from 2019 and a version that was partly re-recorded for the EP release in 2022.

Lyrics
When you see it, terrible...
When you see it, you will lose your mind!
And when the black rain comes down
It's already too late to frown
'Cause you had all that time
To see the warning signs
Living is easy
Just put on your TV
Can't you see
That it's not ok
To accept this as fate
And when the black rain comes down
It's already too late to frown
'Cause you had all that time
To see the warning signs
We're living such times
That all our lights come from satellites
Soon, you'll realize
What it's like without any lies
And when the black rain comes down
It's already too late to frown
'Cause you had all that time
To see the warning signs
What does it matter It's going away anyway
And when the black rain comes down
It's already too late to frown
'Cause you had all that time
To see the warning signs
And when the black rain comes down It's already too late to frown
'Cause you had all that time
To see the warning signs
