When the levee breaks, have no place to stay.

Crying won't help you, praying won't do you no good

No, crying won't help you, praying won't do you no good

When the levee breaks, mama, you got to move

All last night I sat on the levee and moaned

All last night, sat on the levee and moaned

Thinking about my baby and my happy home

Led Zeppelin's "When the Levee Breaks" (cover of the song by Memphis Minnie). I'm absolutely smitten by this Zep song. The intro, the aura it gives off, the contrast of the droning guitar and the sporadic other guitar riffs, Bonham's drumming, and the play between the "slothy" feel and the inherent tension.

Before the Cleanrooms became ... the Cleanrooms, the ancient city was ravaged by a huge earthquake that destroyed not only vast amounts of the City but the coast as well, crumbling the land underneath the vast sea. However, during the golden age that was the Age of Lights, a large levee/sea wall was built around a small part of that town. It was excavated, drained, and rebuilt. People moved back in. The people brave enough to live in the shadow of a wall 100s of feet high, looming over them all times of the day. But, as the City became the Cleanrooms overnight, the wall stood. Through the countless centuries passed, it maintained. And will maintain.

Until it doesn't.
