Here comes the flood

When the night shows the signals grow on radios All the strange things they come and go, as early warnings Stranded starfish have no place to hide still waiting for the swollen Easter tide There's no point in direction we cannot even choose a side. I took the old track the hollow shoulder, across the waters On the tall cliffs they were getting older, sons and daughters The jaded underworld was riding high Waves of steel hurled metal at the sky and as the nail sunk in the cloud, the rain was warm and soaked the crowd. Lord, here comes the flood We'll say goodbye to flesh and blood If again the seas are silent in any still alive It'll be those who gave their island to survive Drink up, dreamers, you're running dry. When the flood calls You have no home, you have no walls In the thunder crash You're a thousand minds, within a flash Don't be afraid to cry at what you see The actors gone, there's only you and me And if we break before the dawn, they'll use up what we used to be. Lord, here comes the flood We'll say goodbye to flesh and blood If again the seas are silent in any still alive It'll be those who gave their island to survive Drink up, dreamers, you're running dry

Cuando la noche aparece las señales crecen en los radios, Todas las cosas extrañas van y vienen como advertencias tempranas, La estrella de mar encallada no tiene lugar donde esconderse, Aun espera el oleaje de la marea oriental, No hay adonde dirigirse, Ni siquiera podemos elegir un lugar. Yo tome el viejo camino, El hombro hundido, a traves de las aguas, En los altos riscos Ellos se hacian viejos, hijas e hijos, El inframundo ahito surcaba lo alto, Olas de acero arrojando metal al cielo, Y cuando las garras se hundieron en la nube La lluvia tibia empapo a la multitud. Señor, aqui viene el diluvio, Diremos adios a carne y sangre, Si los mares otra vez se calman y aun viven algunos, Seran aquellos que dieron su isla para sobrevivir, Beban soñadores que se estan secando. Cuando el diluvio llama No tienes hogar, no tienes muros, Al estallar el trueno Eres mil mentes en un destello, No temas llorar ante lo que ves, Los actores se han ido, solo estamos tu y yo, Y si desistimos antes del alba Ellos acabaran con lo que soliamos ser. Señor, aqui viene el diluvio, Diremos adios a carne y sangre, Si los mares otra vez se calman y aun viven algunos, Seran aquellos que dieron su isla para sobrevivir, Beban soñadores que se estan secando.
