Ocean - Swallowed by the Earth lyrics

Tonight the earth opened up And swallowed quite a lot Of all the pretty things That don't mean anything to me (nor to you) To anyone who likes the feel Of cold wind blowing from the sea And dead leaves falling from the trees Whirling through the air Like rotten vessels on their way Warm rain kept pouring down The streets submersed in rising water And all the clouds were looking down Upon the people seeking shelter They are afraid of being carried far away To some place where they feel they don't belong But deep inside they feel that maybe any place No matter how far away, would be Better than home And, no one realized the gods in heaven Were giving all of them a reason to go And no one expected the water That now reached up to their throats Swallowed by the earth (swallowed by the earth) They disappear (they disappear) Swallowed by the earth (swallowed by the earth) So do we all (repeated)
