The Flood 歌词

I wake up to the tolling of the bell And I feel the water swell It's been coming up, slowly rising Hard to believe that it's not surprising I've lost the foreground watching the horizon The rising tide doesn't raise all boats There are some of us who can't float Some of us are working in the mud Not being innocent don't make me guilty You can't keep your hands clean when it's filthy See the water dimmed with human blood There's no justice drowning in the flood I wake up as the light begins to bend And I watch the night descend After a dutiful lifetime of dreams Trickling riches and muffled screams The centre can't hold, it gyres to the extremes The rising tide doesn't raise all boats There are some of us who can't float Some of us are working in the mud Not being innocent don't make me guilty You can't keep your hands clean when it's filthy See the water dimmed with human blood There's no justice drowning in the flood The rising tide doesn't raise all boats There are some of us who can't float Some of us are working in the mud Not being innocent don't make me guilty You can't keep your hands clean when it's filthy See the water dimmed with human blood There's no justice drowning in the flood
