When the night shows
the s ignals grow on radios
All the strange things
they co me and go, as early warnings
Stranded starfish have no place to hide
still waiting for the swol len Easter tide
There's no point in direction we cannot ev en choose a side .
I took the old track
the ho llow shoulder, across the waters
On the tall cliffs
they were getti ng older, sons and daughters
The jad ed underworld was riding hig h
Waves of steel hurled metal at the sky
and as the nail sunk in the cloud, the rain was w arm and soaked the crowd .
Lord, here comes the flood
We'll say go odbye to flesh and blood
If again the seas are silent
and any still alive
I t'll be those who gave their island to survi ve
Drink up, dreame rs, you're running d ry.
When the flood calls,
You have no home, you have no walls
In the thunder crash
You're a thou sand minds, within a flash
Don't be afraid to cry at what you see
The act or is gone, there's only yo u and me
And if we break before the dawn, they'll use up what we used to be.
