Here Comes the Flood (Live) [Athens 1987]

[Verse 1]
When the night shows
The signals grow on radios
All the strange things
They come and go as early warnings

[Pre-Chorus 1]
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

[Verse 2]
I took the old track
The hollow shoulder, across the waters
On the tall cliffs
They were getting older, sons and daughters

[Pre-Chorus 2]
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

[Chorus]
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
