[Verse 1]
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 when you cannot even choose a side

[Verse 2]
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

[Chorus]
Lord, here comes the flood
We will say goodbye to flesh and blood
If again the seas are silent and any still alive
It'll be those that gave their islands to survive
Drink up, dreamers, you're running dry

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 3]
When the flood calls you have no home, you have no walls
In the thunder crash you're a thousand miles 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
[Chorus]
Lord, here comes the flood
We will say goodbye to flesh and blood
If again the seas are silent and any still alive
It'll be those that gave their islands to survive
Drink up, dreamers, you're running dry
