Here Comes The Flood
(Peter Brian Gabriel)
When the night glows
The signals grow on radios
And the strange winds
They all come and go
They’re early warnings
I take the old track
The hollow shoulder
By the water
On the tall cliffs
They’re all getting older
Sons and daughters
Stranded starfish with no place to hide
Waiting for some swollen Easter tide
And I have no direction
I cannot even choose a side
Lord, here comes the flood
We’ll say goodbye to flesh and blood
And yet I know that we can stem
The rising of the tide
Provide, provide
The time is on your side
Drink up
Drink up to human kind
And when the flood calls
You have no home
You have no walls
In the thunder crash
A thousand minds go in a flash
Jaded underworld be riding high
Waves of steel and metal rip the skies
And as the rain cuts through the cloud
The rain so warm will soak this crowd
Lord, here comes the flood
We’ll say goodbye to flesh and blood
And yet I know that we can stem
The rising of the tide
Provide, provide
The time is on our side
Drink up
Drink up to human kind
Lord, here comes the flood
Lord, here comes the flood
Lord, here comes the flood
Lord, here comes the flood
And yet I know that we can stem
The rising of the tide
If we will just provide
Provide, provide
The time is on our side
Drink up
Drink up to human kind
Human kind
Human kind
Human kind
Drink up
Drink up to human kind
