City And Colour - The Water Is Coming Lyrics

City And Colour Lyrics

"The Water Is Coming"

The water is coming
Will we hold back the rising tide?
The water is coming
Can we survive mankind?

Pray for redemption
Gnash your teeth and gnaw it off at the bone
You keep on knocking
Turn your back, there ain't no one home

Because you will not care for me
So, I will not care for you
Is this who we hope to be?
Living in our midnight's blackest doom

Old heavens without a star
All desires falling away
Off with the beggar's head
Is this the fate we face?

The moon began falling
Crashing straight down from the sky
My skin started crawling
Venomous thoughts tearing up my insides

Flame of suspicion
Burning wild all through the night
That the water is coming
And we will not survive mankind

Because you will not care for me
So, I will not care for you
Is this who we hope to be?
Living in our midnight's blackest doom

Old heavens without a star
All desires falling away
Off with the beggar's head
Is this the fate we face?

'Cause you will not care for me
So, I will not care for you
You will not care for me
But what if I care?
What if I care?
What if I care?
What if I care?
