There Was a Flood

[Intro] Say goodnight young dagger, have the years been kind to you? Or have they left you vacant with so much left to prove It's none of your concern but the pain has been lifted away Fatally eternally [Pre-Chorus] Overcome and overthrow The blood that swelled your heart, tainted now drips to the floor So dry your eyes before you cry another river And breath-by-breath I'll rise to keep your flood away from me Away from me [Chorus] I'll dam your flood away from me Only out of spite I must I will throw you away Always I'll fight off your grip on my existence [Post-Chorus] I won't feel sorry for this spit in the eye Sending seizures through your frozen veins There is no giving into you It took a lifetime to forget your name I swallowed everything you said Exhale the poison that dwells within your soul [Refrain] Stand up for myself Drown by yourself Stand up for myself Drown by yourself [Reprise] Say goodnight young dagger, have the years been kind to you?
