[Lyric] Galveston (Designing Creation)

It seemed like just another day
Everything the same
Children were playing in the streets
Grateful for cooling rain
No sign of warning
Nothing outside the norm
Silently building
There's something in the air
The calm before the - storm!

Oh God I see the water rising!
With every inch our hopes declining!
Drowning in delusion
What we thought would never be
Gasping as it sinks in impossible catastrophe
The purveyor of our opulence
It seems has turned it's back
Our luck has changed it's course
Thе golden egg has finally cracked

Pouring, crashing, еndlessly
Claiming, victims, while they sleep
Wave upon wave the foundation shake
Cold unrelenting this storm won't break
Crashing, eroding, it's shamshing, destroying
Unrecognizable this city now caught in it's wake
Can you hear the houses screaming?
As they fall men, women and children
Clinging, caught in the flow

Try to find something a raft amidst the torn debris
Basically anything to stay afloat
Lost

So hold on tightly now
Just take my hand
Tied together one by one
Sister knowing that their time has come

Can you hear the children singing?
As they fall, silenced now, no voices
Ringing, lost in the flow

So many have joined the dead
