THE FLOOD

This water has gotten so deep
your words are blurred and indistinct,
the music's lost its clarity,
I think we're done for...

In every city and town,
the water's raging white cap crowned,
the sky above and from beneath the ground,
I think we're done for

(capsize and collapse)

I heard the words from the captain's daughter
"If we stay here we're sure to go under",
but the crowd laughed like a rolling thunder...
You know, I think we're done for...

So into a raging sea,
holding onto their vanity,
so tight there eyes can't see
a flood has come
and now we're done for...

(capsize and collapse)

What is that sound, what voice spoke in the thunder
(does anyone hear it, does anyone feel it, does anyone feel the same')
My heart is burning, my head is slipping under!
(does anyone feel it, does anyone fight it, the land is shifting again')
Here comes the flood!

Another city goes under
and every country surrenders...
The flood speaks with a sweet tongue,
but in the end, leaves us nothing...

Doesn't it seem so strange
that there are those that want to explain
that the flood is all in our minds,
while they slip under the noontide...

What is that sound, what voice spoke in the thunder
(does anyone hear it, does anyone feel it, does anyone feel the same')
My heart is burning, my head is slipping under!
(does anyone feel it, does anyone fight it, the land is shifting again')
Here comes the flood!

I sang a sad song you did not weep
I played the beat, but you would not dance
