Mark Hollis
After the Flood
[Verse 1]
Sang soulless loud
Herding step on flesh
And nothing else
To well
To drown and drown
Sleight of reason
How they come
Cain in number

[Chorus]
Shake my head
Turn my face to the floor
Dead to respect
To respect to be born
Lest we forget who lay

[Instrumental]

[Verse 2]
Alone, the crowd
Spurning step by state
Blame something else
Thirsting
Within and without
Sighted, weeded
How they run
Slain in number
[Chorus]
Shake my head
Turn my face to the floor
Dead to respect
To respect to be born
Lest we forget who lay
