Gabriel Peter Here Comes The Flood Lyrics

Here Comes The Flood Lyrics

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.

 

 [Repeat chorus once]
