"The Flood" lyrics

"The Flood"

I clawed my way out of the darkness
I can't stay down there for too long
The fog sets low this time of year
And my biggest fear is getting turned around
And being one of those that never comes out

When the sun breaks in the morning
You better find higher ground
You better learn how to swim
Call all of your kin
Cause it's a coming down
Here comes the flood

Just like the back roads of this country
The Kudzo vines wind down the banks
And if that water doesn't get you
They'll trip you up and leave you lame
You can ask anyone around here

That when the sun breaks in the morning
You better find higher ground
You better learn how to swim
Call all of your kin
Cause it's a coming down
Here comes the flood

Yeah when the sun breaks in the morning
You better find higher ground
You better learn how to swim
Call all of your kin
Cause it's a coming down
Here comes the flood

Your time is up
Your blood means more than what you bought it for
You've had enough
It ain't at all what they said it'd be
Cause here comes the flood
Here comes the flood
