When the night shows

The signals grows 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

Theres no point in direction if 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 will 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 will 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.
