The Flood

Standing

On the edge of forever

At the start of whatever

Shouting love at the world

Back then

We were like cavemen

But 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, one dies

In these love-drowned eyes

Through our love-drowned eyes

We'll watch you sleep tonight

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

Bleeding

But none of us leaving

Watch your mouth, son

Or you'll find yourself floating 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

When there once was none

When there once was none

Then everything came along

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

Yeah, yeah

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 they'll never dance again
