In The Rain (Sol Invictus Album)
In the Rain is an Apocalyptic folk album released by Tony Wakeford's English industrial and Pagan neoclassical group Sol Invictus, in 1995.
On this recording, Wakeford weds trumpet, violin and cello to folk arrangements. Lyrically, he focuses on the fragility of life and the certainty of death. The liner notes include drawings by Tor Lundvall of animated skeletons carrying about with the populace, peeking out of windows and from behind umbrellas.
The instrumentation and orchestration create an elegiac setting that complement Wakeford's lyrical expressions of the tyranny of love, the snuffing out of youth, the beckoning hand of death.

“Arise, my love, my fair one, and come away; for now the winter is past, the rain is over and gone. The flowers appear on the earth; the time of singing has come, and the voice of the turtledove is heard in our land. The fig tree puts forth its figs, and the vines are in blossom; they give forth fragrance. Arise, my love, my fair one, and come away.”
