00:00When the night shows, the signals grow on radios

00:24All the strange things, they come and go as early warnings

00:31Stranded starfish have no place to hide

00:36Still waiting for the swollen Easter tide

00:41There's no point in direction, we cannot even choose a side

00:53I took the old track, the hollow shoulder, and crossed the waters

01:03On the tall cliffs, they were getting older

01:08Sons and daughters, the jaded underworld, was riding high

01:15Waves of steel hurled metal at the sky

01:21And as the nails sunk in the cloud

01:27The rain was warm and soaked the crowd

01:33Lord, here comes the flood

01:41We'll say goodbye, the flesh and blood

01:48If again, the seas are silent in any still alive

01:57It'll be those who gave their island to survive

02:05Drink up, dreamers, you're running dry

03:26Who gave their right

03:28To survive
