A FLOODED KINGDOM
Lyrics & Music : Thomas Amacker

In a vast unknown
They sail up and down
They feel thoses waves alone
They struggle not to drown

As if all’s broken
Few lines are spoken
Seldom wisely chosen
In this flooded and lost kingdom

Even though the moon does slumber
Let the stars unfold
The sailors fear the sound of thunder
The sky may soon explode

They know they won’t last forever
They lead a heavy load.
For sure, it is no real wonder
Watch them smile or frown

(chorus)

Surely, they fall asunder
Remain skin and bones
They won’t believe in a savior
All hope is gone

The sea can't hear what they try to plead
Neither the bloody dying sun
The silence must pay them heed,
When the long day is done

(chorus)

If they had to be so blind
It was to make them see
The sea would give them peace of mind
They would flow on so free

If they had to be so blind
It was to make them see
The deep’s fair, but not unkind
They would flow on so free


All those tears they shed
As they cried out their pain
All those words they said
As they prayed and prayed in vain

They can ignore them now
They let them fade away
They break every vow
No matter what they say

Were they even real
When they said they’d faith in fate ?
Were they even real
When they said they wouldn’t make a fuss ?

It was a crazy tale
They told and told again
It was a kind of hell
When they took their last farewell

They know well
It’s over… now
This is a last farewell
