Flash Flood

from Boiling Point by Lobster House

/

lyrics

I’ve had enough of the “powers that be”
Stomping below with fervor and glee
Won’t stop punching below their weight class
All the while their heads up their ass
Seemingly aware to the struggles of the scorned
And yet only for the dollar you mourn
Rape and pillage from great mother Earth
Did all the profit finally make it worth?
Empires rise and fall
But you’re the hardest fall of all
The world breaking down all around you
And you’re so happy to bid it adieu

Swim as you might you can’t escape the coming flash flood
Bleeding in the water yeah the sharks can smell the blood
Thrashing won’t get you anywhere
You can only tread for so long

I don’t need you to understand
I want better than the hand I've been dealt
Pour the gold down their throats
To quench their thirst for wealth
Dance in the ruins of the empire
Revelations, the situation is dire
You no longer hold the reigns
Dropping, falling, lie in wake
Pray for salvation
Blood moon rising, black rose blooms
Withered, abandoned, only consume
Where is your god now?

Swim as you might you can’t escape the coming flash flood
Bleeding in the water yeah the sharks can smell the blood
Thrashing won’t get you anywhere
You can only tread for so long

Eagle, soaring in the clouds with pride
Tumor, cancerous growth consuming
Everything and everyone
Only to make more
David, righteous death stand unbroken
Goliath, slaughtering innocents
You are both, two-faced, liar condemned
Hypocrisy will kill us all
Sun and moon, heads and tails, yin and yang
Rivers have dried and forests leveled
Yet you still deny Gaia will die
Doom is upon us

Welcome to your new reality
The world lies in ashes
The book of humanity has ended
Funeral pyre for the masses
