The Flood lyrics

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 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.

[Chorus]

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.

Bleedin', but none of us leavin',

Watch your mouth son

Or you'll find yourself floatin' 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 will end today.

There's progress now

Where there once was none.

Where there once was none,

Then everything came along.

[Chorus]

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,

When the thunder turns around

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

[Chorus]

Although no one understood

There was more of them than us

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.
