lyrics

There's a flood by the mountain cutting into the banks and the plains
Where once it was silent now roaring its chorus from the rain

And you can't stop the sound
From rushing into your land
Better head for higher ground
Or nothing, no nothing, will go to plan

There's a pine in the forest leaving all that's below it for dead
It's growing so tall it is covering the words that I said
But when it will fall it will crack and will split into four
It will open the skies and the forest will rise like before

So watch for the bandits that will steal from the good in your town
They pretend to be holy while holding your head to the ground
As soon as the first bell will signal it's your time to go
And leave all the things that will hinder your memory of home
