Flood

Down it poured on us from black clouds
Whipped by the cold wind
Washed off the sides of mountains
Into the valleys
Elemental
Power of water
Breaks down the strongest
Of man’s constructions
If there is a God
He is using us to play
He took our homes away
And nobody can say
What we could do to deserve this

Run!
The dam can’t hold it -
Flash floods are coming down
To smash the town
Evacuate now
While you still can

All across the country
Chaos erupting
We can hear the roaring
Of death’s own waters
Elemental
Power of water
Breaks down the strongest
Of man’s constructions
Here it’s all inverted
People in mud seas
The fish hang on the trees
Your luck has not run out
If you are still alive

Run!
The dam can’t hold it -
Flash floods are coming down
To smash the town
Evacuate now
While you still can

We’re going to leave now
We’re going to leave
Get out while we can
Take what we need
Take what we need
To leave forever…

Flee from the ruined landscape
The rolling mudbath
Start a new life somewhere
Way high up in the hills
Above the deadly spills
Closer to the one
Who sends all destruction downhill

Run!
The dam can’t hold it -
Flash floods are coming down
To smash the town
Evacuate now
While you still can, my Friend
Run!
The dam can’t hold it -
Flash floods are coming down
To smash the town
Evacuate now
While you still can

We’re going to leave now
We’re going to leave
Get out while we can
Take what we need
Take what we need
To leave forever
We’re going to leave now
