Floodwaters

Put this one down as ‘when you piss off a poet.’ Well, not much of a poet, but I like to rhyme now and then. Whenever I hear something from this one, I hear a power ballad, but don’t let that fool you.


FLOODWATERS


The end is near

The end is nigh

Whispers in your ear

Poison in the wine


All warnings failed

All signs ignored

We lost the Grail

No cracks restored


Some people are waiting for the whole world to burn

I’m just waiting for the floodwaters to return


Chorus:

The rain will fall

The winds will howl

Rushing water running with rivers of blood

We can’t go back

We can’t stop what’s to come

Everything we built consumed by a raging flood.


Repent, repent

Judgment descends

Condemning us all

To an inevitable end


No peaceful God

Promises aside

Nowhere to run

Nowhere to hide


Some people are waiting for the whole world to burn

I’m just waiting for the floodwaters to return


Chorus


Bridge:

He is not here

He won’t dry your tears

Tears that run down

From short-sighted years

The angels have flown

The devil’s in us

Did we really think

The world needed us?

We can’t wait too much longer

To do what we must.

We won’t do what we must.

We just wait for the waters

To drown us to dust.


No one to stop it

No one to save

We were given a garden

And made it a grave.


Some people are waiting for the whole world to burn

I’m just waiting for the floodwaters to return


Chorus
