Like Tears in the Rain - A Variation by Charles Bryant I've seen things you people wouldn't believe. Attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion. I've watched C-beams glitter in the dark near the Tannhäuser Gate. All those moments will be lost in time like tears in the rain. Time to die. His unaided vision had accomplished in purity of comprehension all those things the plebs mind could not grasp: great battle-cruisers consumed by liquid fire just off the whirling shoulder of Orion; cosmic beams of diamond-shafted light breaking against the dark Tannhauser Gate where patient death lay waiting, passed him by - until this moment, tear-washed in the rain, when final fate accomplished his sad end, understanding that this all must cease; all these wonderful things be wiped away; the magnificent dreaming dissolved; now time to die. *** CREDITS *** The original lines of "Like Tears in the Rain" were spoken by Rutger Hauer in the 1982 movie: Blade Runner, directed by Ridley Scott, with screenplay, written by Hampton Fancher and David Peoples.
