HERE COMES THE FLOOD words/music: bill mallonee
there's a rumor going round
that the end is nigh
seems like i've heard that sorta talk
most of my life

one thing i never could
completely understand
how anyone could rejoice
in the death of a man

chorus:
here comes the flood
here comes the flood
say "goodbye"....to all that you love

progress is a wheel of steel
and it's grins behind closed doors
on the rack of cruel history
has perished many a soul
it's the sacrament of the greedy
it's the bread & wine of the rich
it is money in a vault dressed up
in flags and rhetoric

earth, it is a-shakin'
sky she falls away
confusion is the order
the order of the day
rain, it falls in sheets
sweeping you from me
and our tears they now mingle
with the salt of the sea

chorus:
here comes the flood....
here comes the flood
say "goodbye"....to all that you love

now, death & destruction
well, it's always been the rage
and out of our hearts
it spills all over the page
fear makes you a thief
and a thief is gonna steal
to cover himself
from the darkness that he feels
