Deluge

On the day the floods broke from the darkened skies

We ran for cover

Against the tempest and against one another

In search for shelter on an open field

On the day the flames rose to the clouded skies

We ran for cover

Against inferno, the ever-searing flame

With the storm raging forward right in our backs

And we're not ashamed

To pretend like we saw it all coming

With the waters relentlessly rising up

To our very own necks

And we're not ashamed

To be dancing among the flames

And even blisters on our bruised hands

We hold onto the comfort of our own lies

And when the river's dry

And the last flame has died

All that remains from what we had is drowned dreams, scorched hopes

I've always known, someday

The flames will come and burn it all away

I've always felt, someday

The skies shall break and wash it all, wash it all away

Wash

I have always known, someday

The flames will come and burn it all away

I've always hoped, someday

The skies shall break and wash it all, wash it all away

The skies shall break and wash it all, wash it all away from me

Wash it all away

Take it all away, take it all away

Drag me to the fire and throw me in the flames

Take it all away, take it all away

Drag me to the shore and leave me to the waves
