The Flood Lyrics

Standing
On the edge of forever
At the start of whatever
Shouting love at the worldBack then
We were like cavemen
But we mapped the moon and the stars
Then we forgave themWe 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 awayYou know no one dies
In these love-drowned eyes
Through our love-drowned eyes
We'll watch you sleep tonightAlthough 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 againBleeding
But none of us leaving
Watch your mouth, son

Or you'll find yourself floating homeHere 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 todayThere's progress now
Where there once was none
Where there once was, ah
Then everything came alongAlthough 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 againAlthough 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 againWe 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 awayAlthough 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 againNow we'll never dance again
