The Flood

[Verse 1]

They sing their songs by firelight

I watch them dull their minds

These foolish drunks and diplomats

Trust a hero with their lives

Do lies and empty promises

Give hopeless men relief?

Is ignorance their innocence?

Do they walk the world asleep?

[Pre-Chorus]

I am cunning, they're complicit

I am coming, they dismiss it

Let their creature comforts blind them

I have come here to remind them

[Chorus]

I am wakeful

I am watchful

I am unafraid to fight

I will stir you from slumber

I will nevеr say goodnight

I am wakeful

I am watchful

I am unafraid to fight

I will tear you from your treasurе

I will never say goodnight

[Bridge]

We're all guilty of something

For every gift there is a sin

It depends on where you're standing

Where you are and where you've been

We're all guilty of something

Cutting corners, casting stones

We are none of us immortal

We are all of us alone

We're all guilty of something

For every give there is a take

We pretend to love the victims of

The choices that we make

We're all guilty of something

Either past or present tense

Who will save you from your shadow?

Who will come to your defense?

We're all guilty of something

For every wrong there is a right

You'll make any lie a lullaby

If it helps you sleep at night

We're all guilty of something

Every day this quiet war

I am here to wake you up

I am opening this door

[Chorus]

I am wakeful

I am watchful

I am unafraid to fight

I will stir you from slumber

I will never say goodnight

I am wakeful

I am watchful

I am unafraid to fight

I will tear you from your treasure

I will never say goodnight
