Lyrics

The Flood

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

Standing, on the edge of forever,

At the start of whatever,

Shouting love at the world.

Back then, we were like cavemen,

But we met the moon and the stars

Then we forgave them.

We will meet you where the lights are,

The defenders, of the faith we are.

Where the thunder turns around

They'll run so hard we'll tear the ground away.

You know no one dies

In these love drowned eyes

Through our love drowned eyes

We'll watch you sleep tonight

Although no one understood

We were holding back the flood,

Learning how to dance the rain.

We were holding back the flood

They said we'd never dance again.

Bleeding, but none of us leaving,

Watch your mouth son

Or you'll find yourself floating home.

Here we come now on a dark star

Seeing demons, not what we are.

Tiny minds and eager hands will try to strike,

But now we'll last the day

There's progress now

Where there once was not

Where there once was not

Then everything came along.

Although no one understood,

We were holding back the flood

Learning how to dance the rain.

There was more of them than us

Now they'll never dance again.

Although no one understood

There was more of them than us

Learning how to dance the rain,

We were holding back the flood

They said we'd never dance again.

We will meet you where the lights are,

The defenders of the faith we are.

Where the thunder turns around

They'll run so hard

We'll tear the ground away.

Although no one understood,

There was more of them than us

Learning how to dance the rain.

(learning how to dance the rain)

There was more of them than us

Now they'll never dance again.

Now we'll never dance again.

Oh ahh, Oh ahh, Oh ahh, Oh ahh, Oh aah, Oh ahh, Oh ahh...
