Peter Gabriel - Here Comes The Flood Lyrics
When the night showsThe signals grow on radiosAll the strange thingsThey come and go, as early warningsStranded starfish have no place to hideStill waiting for the swollen easter tideTheres no point in direction we cannot even choose a side.I took the old trackThe hollow shoulder, across the watersOn the tall cliffsThey were getting older, sons and daughtersThe jaded underworld was riding highWaves of steel hurled metal at the skyAnd as the nail sunk in the cloud, the rain was warm and soaked the crowd.Lord, here comes the floodWell say goodbye to flesh and bloodIf again the seas are silentIn any still aliveItll be those who gave their island to surviveDrink up, dreamers, youre running dry.When the flood calls,You have no home, you have no wallsIn the thunder crashYoure a thousand minds, within a flashDont be afraid to cry at what you seeThe actors gone, theres only you and meAnd if we break before the dawn, theyll use up what we used to be.Lord, here comes the floodWell say goodbye to flesh and bloodIf again, the seas are silentIn any still aliveItll be those who gave their island to surviveDrink up, dreamers, youre running dry.
