Lyrics Under the Flood - Dismantled

Under the Flood

Under the flood
It always seems so bright
Beneath the murky tides
The cities glow untouched
Under the flood
Their faces, frozen blank
No one to tell me why
The waters always on the rise
And I look back
Where we started
Had come so far
To lose it all
To the abyss
And as I hang on
I’m sure that soon I will know
Just what it is like
Sinking slowly
Into the depths
The hands still clutch
The swollen faith
That brought them all down at once
Oh, what an ending to a wasted life
Under the flood
We never got that far
The sheets of rain blew past
All our attempts to calm it down
Under the flood
They said the earth cleaned up All of the stains we brought
And all the roots we tore out
Under the flood
I hope you’re happy now
I can’t wait, I can’t wait
To stop breathing for your human mass
When I’m dead, when I’m dead
I hope the planet wipes
Every trace, every track
Of my existence on this wretched ground
This wretched ground
But now it’s cooling down
But now it’s cooling down
And I look back
Where we started
Had come so far
To lose it all
To the abyss
No escaping it now
Time’s up
I’m finally free at last
Sinking slowly
Into the depths
I’m so detached
I’ve got no faith
Just a fading blank thought
Oh, what an ending to a wasted life
Sinking slowly
Into the depths
I’m so detached
I’ve got no faith
Just a fading blank thought
Oh, what an ending to a wasted life
Sinking slowly
Into the depths
I’m so detached
I’ve got no faith
Just a fading blank thought
Oh, what an ending to a wasted life
