After Me, the Flood
Out of nowhere it came
With destructive rage
A surge of discontent
Force of nature unchained
Lining my pockets
While the country rots
Deaf to desperate cries
After me, the flood
Enforce unjust laws
By the rule of brute force
Bullets for stones
After me, the flood
Bury my head in the sand
To weather the storm
Hiding in plain sight
I'm the king of the worms
A hypocrite smile
A child playing god
Two treachеrous eyes
After mе, the flood
Wallow in power
But it's lonely at the top
The hour has come now
After me, the flood
After me, the flood
After me, the flood
Delusions of grandeur
In a cardboard palace
Grasping at straws
A precarious balance
When the dust has settled
On a city in ruins
Embers still glowing
The fire reignites
No one saw the storm coming
A furious wave of change
For better or worse
Nothing will ever be the same
After me, the flood
After me, the flood
