Here Comes the Flood

[Verse 1]

When the night shows, the signals grow on radios

All the strange things they come and go as early warnings

Stranded starfish have no place to hide

Still waiting for the swollen Easter tide

There's no point in direction when you cannot even choose a side

[Verse 2]

I took the old track, the hollow shoulder, across the waters

On the tall cliffs they were getting older, sons and daughters

The jaded underworld was riding high

Waves of steel hurled metal at the sky

And as the nail sunk in the cloud the rain was warm and soaked the crowd

[Chorus]

Lord, here comes the flood

We will say goodbye to flesh and blood

If again the seas are silent and any still alive

It'll be those that gave their islands to survive

Drink up, dreamers, you're running dry

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 3]

When the flood calls you have no home, you have no walls

In the thunder crash you're a thousand miles within a flash

Don't be afraid to cry at what you see

The actors' gone, there's only you and me

And if we break before the dawn, they'll use up what we used to be

[Chorus]

Lord, here comes the flood

We will say goodbye to flesh and blood

If again the seas are silent and any still alive

It'll be those that gave their islands to survive

Drink up, dreamers, you're running dry
