Robert Fripp - Here Comes the Flood lyrics

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
And waves of steel hurled metal at the sky
And as the nails 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 actor's 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
