"Floodgates" lyrics - WITHIN THE RUINS

WITHIN THE RUINS
"Floodgates"

Tonight early dusk will bring you fear that I'll be gone
Like a shadow with the dark. Fleeting like the northern winds
Catch me as I pass you by

Will you follow me as the wind blows through the open window
And crosses your face will a cool breeze

I'm all around you. I am everywhere
How does it feel to have the tables turned
How does it feel to have the tables turned

What compels you
Is it courage or fear that drives you

I hope you're finally happy that I've gone away

We'll be swept away
When I open the floodgates
We will be swept away

Open the window and let in the night air
Release me. Into a world not so cold
Not so cold. Not so cold

Do you know what it's like to breathe through someone else's lungs

Follow the trade winds
But they won't bring you sleep
To find the place where I lay my head

The prevailing winds will bring us down
