The Flood
Standing on the edge of forever,At the start of whatever,Shouting love at the world.
Back then we were like cavemen,We mapped the moon and the stars,Then we forgave them.
We will meet you, where the lights are,The defenders of the faith we are,When the thunder turns aroundThey'll run so hard we'll tear the ground away.
You know no one diesIn these love drowned eyes.Through our love drowned eyes,We'll watch you sleep tonight.
Chorus
Although no one understoodWe were holding back the floodLearning how to dance the rain.We were holding back the floodThey said we'd never dance again.
Bleedin', but none of us leavin',Watch your mouth sonOr you'll find yourself floatin' home.
Here we come now on a dark star,Seeing demons, not what we are,Tiny minds and eager handsWill try to strike, but now will end today.
There's progress nowWhere there once was none.Where there once was none,Then everything came along.
Chorus
Although no one understoodwe were holding back the floodLearning how to dance the rain.There was more of them than usNow they'll never dance again.
Although no one understoodThere was more of them than usLearning how to dance the rain.We were holding back the floodThey said we'd never dance again.
We will meet you, where the lights are,The defenders of the faith we are,When the thunder turns aroundThey'll run so hard we'll tear the ground away.
Chorus
Although no one understoodThere was more of them than usLearning how to dance the rain.There was more of them than usNow they'll never dance again.Now we'll never dance again.
