Under the flood It always seems so bright Beneath the murky tides The cities glow untouched
Under the flood Their faces, frozen blank No one to tell me why The waters always on the rise
And I look back Where we started Had come so far To lose it all To the abyss And as I hang on I'm sure that soon I'll know Just what it is like
Sinking slowly Into the depths The hands still clutch The swollen faith That brought them all down at once Oh, what an ending to a wasted life
Under the flood We never got that far The sheets of rain blew past All our attempts to calm it down
Under the flood They said the earth cleaned up All of the stains we brought And all the roots we tore out
Under the flood I hope you're happy now I can't wait To stop breathing for your human mass When I'm dead I hope the planet wipes Every trace of my existence on this wretched ground
But now it's cooling down
And I look back Where we started Had come so far To lose it all To the abyss No escaping it now Time's up I'm finally free at last
Sinking slowly Into the depths I'm so detached I've got no faith Just a fading blank thought Oh, what an ending to a wasted life
