The Flood

Lyrics

[Interlude: Neil Fallon] Under the gray sprawl of gathering clouds, the village stirred uneasily as the goddess appeared, her presence a whisper on the wind. With eyes glowing like storm-lit seas, she spoke to the gathered crowd, her voice resonant with the power of coming rain. "Heed my words," she warned, "a deluge comes to cleanse, to reset the bones of this land." Faces turned upwards, feeling the first heavy drops, and just as she promised, "And the flood will wash it all away." [Verse 1: Brandon Yeagley] There we go chasing a ghost Into the eye of a nightmare Hey, I can't even breathe But I'm walking on thin air Then she came from the sun to warn everyone That the Heavens above are coming undone The rain will wash it all away [Chorus 1: Brandon Yeagley] In the ground below The blood runs cold In the flood we'll find our way home [Verse 2: Brandon Yeagley] Hear the screams Lost in a dream But you know right where to find me Hey, I'm barely alive But at least I can say I survived Then she came from the sun to warn everyone That the Heavens above are coming undone The rain will wash it all away [Chorus 2: Brandon Yeagley] In the ground below The blood runs cold In the flood we'll find our way home And if they find my bones and no headstone Let me fall into the unknown [Bridge: Brandon Yeagley] And if you stare into the face of the darkness Fear will find its way out the door And if your eyes keep looking for nothing You'll never see anything more [Guitar Solo] [Refrain 1: Brandon Yeagley] All we ever wanted was to know the truth And all we ever needed is to know that we're all doomed [Refrain 2: Neil Fallon] All we ever wanted was to know that we're all doomed In the flood we'll find our way home [Chorus 3: Brandon Yeagley] In the ground below The blood runs cold In the flood we'll find our way home (We'll find our way back home) And if they find my bones and no headstone Let me fall into the unknown (We'll fall into the unknown Find my way back home)
