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, we 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

And waves of steel hurled metal at the sky

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

[Chorus]

Lord, here comes the flood

We'll say goodbye to flesh and blood

If again the seas are silent in any still alive

It'll be those who gave their island to survive

Drink up dreamers, you're running dry

[Verse 3]

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

In the thunder crash, you're a thousand minds within a flash

Don't be afraid to cry at what you see

The actor's 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'll say goodbye to flesh and blood

If again the seas are silent in any still alive

It'll be those who gave their island to survive

Drink up dreamers, you're running dry
