Текст песни: The Deluge + перевод

The jackals are gathering tonight, with the lion at the head

The snakes are crawling under their feet, the dragons are overhead

The sheep are getting restless, the cows are running scared

The dolphins landing on the beaches, the bees no longer heard

With the wind getting stronger, the castle bolts are loose

It won’t be much longer now, the deluge is rising new

The ants are marching fast, the ravens are everywhere

The owls are seeing black, the wolves have left their lair

The phoenix shakes off its ashes, the donkey is stretching out

The horses breaking from the gates, the canary starts to shout

With the clouds getting darker, the sun is feeling blue

Patience has gathered a spark, the deluge is rising new

The cards have all been dealt, everyone is going all in

Some will count on ties to help, a sure bet that they’ll win

As the hands start rolling over, cut the silence with a knife

Nobody expected how it turned out, every mark is in sight

As the chips start to be collected, everyone is yelling who can I sue

Just like a thief in the night, the deluge is rising new

Dante once told a story, Blake said it all again

The Buddha left to the wilderness, no longer suffering

Gilgamesh once lost a leaf, a Shaman drank it full

Saw a dream of a how it all began, laughed at all it claimed to know

No more wants and choices, can satisfy what you need to do

The fool is free of the voices, the deluge is rising new

The stadiums have all gone empty, the show is in the streets

Every corner that you turn, a troubadour is on his feet

The TV has turned to static, the puppets have lost their strings

Nobody is in the attic, everyone is doing their own thing

With the savings in their head, a barter for the few

Planting seeds instead of dread, the deluge is rising new

With no more left or right, everything is up or down

With no more day or night, only dusk and dawn are shown

The leaders have all joined forces, a farce for all to see

Following along the same old courses, flowing down to the sea

The clowns and jokers step on the stage, waiting for their cue

The spotlight never saw a trace, the deluge is rising new

The princes became confused, the slots no longer ring

The women are no longer amused, no more shiny, flashy things

The stocks have gone to zero, the currency is used for fuel

The flocks are flying everywhere, the seasons no longer rule

The clocks have all stopped ticking, the spheres have taken over cubes

The only thing left, the here and the now, the deluge is rising new

The landlords have lost their tenants, the mills have lost their trees

The shrinks have lost their patients, their minds are thinking free

The army has no more soldiers, their guns have turned to dust

Corporations have lost their founders, all their gold has turned to rust

Individuals have taken their stand, with nothing left to lose

No longer time for any brand, the deluge is rising new

The speculators have found a black hole, the sequels stuck in a trap

No more oil or coal to burn, Ra has the dots on a map

The wreckage of the climate, a balance that will reap

An answer from the environment, will be a tragic sweep

In the end, we all must pay, for each and every due

For everything, will have their say, the deluge is rising new

The sun is coming up fast, the songs have filled the air

The fisherman have caught their catch, artisans to barter their wares

The fools have found their way, the birds have found their nests

The ship has found its bay, the struggle has found its rest

Be excellent to each other, and don’t forget to have a laugh or two

We’re all in it together, the deluge is rising new
