Song language: English
Before the Flood |
| This city sucks the blood of the young |
| To feed the rich and greedy |
| Then the young learn to look down in disgust |
| At the bodies of the needy |
| I did not ask to be born a citizen of your land |
| I did not ask to need to be fed by your charitable hand |
| One last rain before the flood |
| (rising up all around us) |
| One last flood before the water pulls us all under |
| And there’s no Atlantis to escape to |
| No future to create, now |
| But now we see your wars |
| For what they are |
| I am not a lone oracle |
| We all know the ship’s going down |
| But for all I know you’ve got a lifeboat |
| It’s just your poor soldiers who’ll drown |
| I did not ask to fight for the rights of the rulers of this land |
| I did not ask to die by your enemy’s hand |
| One last rain (etc.) |
| And if there is a life boat on board |
| You’d better believe we will take it |
| We will seize everything |
| As you look on in the wake |
| Your money won’t buy back lives |
| From the ones you tried to take |
| One last rain (etc) |
| And if there is a life boat on board |
| You’d better believe we will take it |
| We will seize everything |
| As you look on in the wake |
| Your money won’t buy the lives |
| From the spirits you tried to break |
