(Verse 1):
The sky has been weeping, for days the rain won't cease.
The earth beneath our feet can offer no release.
Every pore is filled now, the soil has reached its load.
No more room for moisture along this narrow road.
The river's banks are swelling, the water volume's vast.
The memory of the dry days is fading too fast.
It's just the basic science, a simple calculation.
Too much Precipitation leads to saturation.a
(Pre-Chorus):
The weight of all the droplets, pushing from the deep.
Breaking the boundary the river was meant to keep.
The surface tension snaps, the banks finally surrender.
The calm is broken now, the water's gentle temper turns to cold.
(Chorus):
Here comes the Inundation, a silent, steady hand.
Spreading out across the flood plain, reclaiming the land.
It doesn't rush like the river, it doesn't crash like the sea.
It's the slow, heavy presence of Volume surrounding me.
Every second brings the surface higher than before.
A profound, liquid warning knocking at your door.
(Verse 2):
Don't let the stillness fool you, the speed is moving fast.
The flow is just below the top, a current that will last.
It's not just the depth you measure, it’s the Velocity's might.
Dragging everything it touches into the endless night.
From the highest point it travels, seeking out the low.
Following the contour lines, guiding where to go.
It’s the simple rule of gravity, a force that can't be won.
Until the water finds its balance, its destructive work is done.
(Bridge):
When the color clears, and the flow starts to fall.
You see the silt and mud left behind on the wall.
A layer of deposition, the story written clear.
The residue of pressure, conquering all fear.
And all we can do now is wait for the light...
And rebuild the home we lost to the quiet might.
(Chorus)
(Outro):
The volume stays...
Waiting for balance...
The inevitable rise...
