When the night shows
the signals grow on radios
All the strange things
they come and go, as early warnings
Stranded starfish have no place to hide
still waiting for the swollen Easter tide
There's no point in direction we cannot
even choose a side.
I took the old track
the hollow shoulder, across the waters
On the tall cliffs
they were getting older, sons and daughters
The jaded underworld was riding high
Waves of steel hurled metal at the sky
and as the nail sunk in the cloud, the rain
was warm and soaked the crowd.
Lord, here comes the flood
We'll say goodbye to flesh and blood
If again the seas are silent
in any still alive
It'll be those who gave their island to survive
Drink up, dreamers, you're running dry.
When the flood calls
You have no home, you have no walls
In the thunder crash
You're a thousand minds, within a flash
Don't be afraid to cry at what you see
The actors gone, there's only you and me
And if we break before the dawn, they'll
use up what we used to be.
Lord, here comes the flood
We'll say goodbye to flesh and blood
If again the seas are silent
in any still alive
It'll be those who gave their island to survive
Drink up, dreamers, you're running dry
Cuando la noche aparece las señales crecen en los radios,
Todas las cosas extrañas van y vienen como advertencias tempranas,
La estrella de mar encallada no tiene lugar donde esconderse,
Aun espera el oleaje de la marea oriental,
No hay adonde dirigirse,
Ni siquiera podemos elegir un lugar.
Yo tome el viejo camino,
El hombro hundido, a traves de las aguas,
En los altos riscos
Ellos se hacian viejos, hijas e hijos,
El inframundo ahito surcaba lo alto,
Olas de acero arrojando metal al cielo,
Y cuando las garras se hundieron en la nube
La lluvia tibia empapo a la multitud.
Señor, aqui viene el diluvio,
Diremos adios a carne y sangre,
Si los mares otra vez se calman y aun viven algunos,
Seran aquellos que dieron su isla para sobrevivir,
Beban soñadores que se estan secando.
Cuando el diluvio llama
No tienes hogar, no tienes muros,
Al estallar el trueno
Eres mil mentes en un destello,
No temas llorar ante lo que ves,
Los actores se han ido, solo estamos tu y yo,
Y si desistimos antes del alba
Ellos acabaran con lo que soliamos ser.
Señor, aqui viene el diluvio,
Diremos adios a carne y sangre,
Si los mares otra vez se calman y aun viven algunos,
Seran aquellos que dieron su isla para sobrevivir,
Beban soñadores que se estan secando.
