Текст песни: Before the Flood + перевод

This city sucks the blood of the young

To feed the rich and greedy

Then the young learn to look down in disgust

At the bodies of the needy

I did not ask to be born a citizen of your land

I did not ask to need to be fed by your charitable hand

One last rain before the flood

(rising up all around us)

One last flood before the water pulls us all under

And there’s no Atlantis to escape to

No future to create, now

But now we see your wars

For what they are

I am not a lone oracle

We all know the ship’s going down

But for all I know you’ve got a lifeboat

It’s just your poor soldiers who’ll drown

I did not ask to fight for the rights of the rulers of this land

I did not ask to die by your enemy’s hand

One last rain (etc.)

And if there is a life boat on board

You’d better believe we will take it

We will seize everything

As you look on in the wake

Your money won’t buy back lives

From the ones you tried to take

One last rain (etc)

And if there is a life boat on board

You’d better believe we will take it

We will seize everything

As you look on in the wake

Your money won’t buy the lives

From the spirits you tried to break
