Here Comes The Flood |
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. |
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. |
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. |
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 actors gone, there’s only you and me And if we break before the dawn, they’ll |
Use up what we used to be. |
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. |
