[Verse 1]
We've been down this road before
I hardly know you anymore
I packed my bags and shut the door
I heard it's coming, the perfect storm
[PreChorus]
Evacuate before it's all too late
The bitter winds of the hurricane
They are relentless
The best defense is a great escape
[Chorus]
Lord, hold back this flooding water
Heaven help us if these levees break
Because I am not a lamb to the slaughter
I have heard the banshees cry his name
[Chorus]
And I listen to the omens, look out for the signs
And if he winds up missing, no body, no crime
[Chorus]
Lord, hold back this flooding water
I am not a lamb to the slaughter
[Verse 2]
We've been down this road before
And I can't take it anymore
I've seen his fists and felt their blow
I fear it's coming, the perfect storm
[Bridge]
I found his bullets and his .44
But I'm not a killer until I'm forced
But if I fire, they'll never find him
That I'm sure
[Chorus]
Lord, hold back this flooding water
Heaven help us if these levees break
Because I am not a lamb to the slaughter
I have heard the banshees cry his name
[Chorus]
And I listen to the omens, look out for the signs
And if he winds up missing, no body, no crime
[Chorus]
Lord, hold back this flooding water
I am not a lamb to the slaughter
[Chorus]
Lord, hold back this flooding water
Lord, hold back this flooding water
Oh, Lord, hold back this flooding water
Heaven help us if these levees break
[Chorus]
Because I am not a lamb to the slaughter
I have heard the banshees cry his name
And I listen to the omens, look out for the signs
And if he winds up missing, no body, no crime
[Chorus]
Lord, hold back this flooding water
I am not a lamb to the slaughter
[Outro]
Lord, hold back
Lord, hold back this flooding water
Lord, hold back this flooding water
