The Flood Lyrics

Here comes the flood again
Watch it fall from the sky
Feel it soak through my flesh and my blood
Feel it burn in my eyes

When I say how much more can I take?
I know the water's rising up, watch the waves crest and break
And though I've made nothing but a sound
I fear that I may drown
I fear that I may drown

Here comes the wind again
Cold that cuts to the bone
Pack my bags and I'll head out the door
Here I am on my own

When I say how much more can I stand?
I know my walls are falling down
I left the rocks and chose the sand
And though I've no one left to blame
Still, I cursed your name
I cursed your name

So now the end
What I've been running from
Though I've tried I cannot lift my head
Oh, what have I become?

When I say how much more can I take?
I know my time is running short, I am broken and I'll break
And though I've worn myself so thin
I'm coming home again
And though I do not know my heart
Well, I know myself down to my bones, but if my bones should come apart
Then I'll have nothing left to give
But if you take me in
I'm coming home again
And if you take me in
I'm coming home again

What is the Meaning of The Flood?

In this heart-wrenching ballad, Joshua Hyslop is the sailor navigating the stormy seas of life. The "flood" and "wind" symbolize overwhelming challenges, while the water's rise and walls crumbling signify his increasing vulnerability. He portrays a man at his breaking point, questioning how much more he can endure. Yet, amidst despair, there's a glimmer of hope. His journey back home suggests seeking solace in familiar surroundings or perhaps reconciliation with someone he has wronged (as hinted by cursing their name). In essence, Hyslop reminds us that life can be tempestuous but it's okay to seek refuge and start anew. So next time you're weathering your own storm, remember - it's okay to head for safe harbor!
