Welcome the Flood

By Liath

Welcome the Flood


Look at your life
Are you well
Are you good
Are you the happiest that you could possibly be

I'm willing to bet
That your car ain't a 'Vette
You live with your pet
And you've lived all of your life with a debt

Now tell me have you
Done what you needed to do
If not you better get on the move
I'll set a fire under you
Melt the strips of tar on the roof

You must make it happen
Go on and make Captain
Get the girl of your dreams
There is always a way
To brighten the day
And muffle the sound of your screams

Now she may not play
But there will come a day
When she will be thinking of you
She'll remember the dance
And she'll rethink her previous plans
Bring back the romance
You'll find her renewed
And over the feud
Finally able to love you again

Now this is a story of love based on faith
Told by the Knight
Who changed to a wraith
Stricken by pain he lost all his sight
But never quit loving her
He knows he was wrong
She's the Goddess who can set everything right

A smack on the wrist
Or a kick in the head
And on goes the list
With the tears that they shed

Your only desire
Is to put out the fire
That burns up your soul
She could open the floo
Look a little deeper in you
And see how you feel
What you would go through
For the one you admire
To extinguish the flames
To have the smile of love again
And the love yall had
Know that in the end
She's all that you want
And love for her is the only feeling you had
