Before the flood

Evanescence - Afterlife

Hide, before the flood gates open
Can we just lie here 'til it's all over?
I hear the violence coming, turning red inside
You build your walls but can't forget the hate you hide

Andrew Marvell - To His Coy Mistress

Shouldst rubies find; I by the tide
Of Humber would complain. I would
Love you ten years before the flood,
And you should, if you please, refuse

Jeff Buckley - We All Fall in Love Sometimes

Running with the losers for a while
And our empty sky was filled with laughter
Just before the flood
Painting worried faces with a smile

Requin Chagrin - Night

A bit earlier
A bit later
Before the flood

Mohamed Mounir - An Egyptian Story

A part of me to die, bells ringing for the end of a human being.
Wisdom killed me, revived me & made me dive deep in the heart of the Secret
The heart of the Universe before the Flood1 comes, it made me fear for you, Egypt
And tell you about what’s concealed inside (me)

• 1. of injustice taking away people & land

Elton John - We All Fall In Love Sometimes

Running with the losers for a while
But our Empty Sky was filled with laughter
Just before the flood
Painting worried faces with a smile

Jethro Tull - Drink from the Same Well

Chew it over, chew the cud
Join hand in hand before the flood
Tell me which way you choose

Kanye West - Selah

Pour the lean out slower
Got us clean out of soda
Before the flood, people judge
They did the same thing to Noah

Ester Rada - Always Get Up

And if we could stop before the flood
and to repair before we already passed the limits1
taking the time to see the cracks in the walls
and that the rain had penetrated

• 1. lit: border

Fish - Raingod's Dancing

and the static on the radio is drowning out the sound of raingod's dancing,
Empty playgrounds, empty bars,
I can't remember how it was before the flood
when all I had to do was simply recognise

Eric Martin Band - Don't Stop

Come a little closer honey, let down your hair
Feel my pulse, pumpin' blood
Hot as molten lava before the flood, yeah

Jacek Kaczmarski - Noah's Ark

Build the ark before the flood
of our own tears shed over our fate
Build the ark before the flood!
For the first and last baptism

Full Trunk - One more day

becoming a soldier.
More from before the journey
Before the Flood
The track of uncertainty

Bob Dylan - In the Summertime

I got the heart and you got the blood
We cut through iron and we cut through mud
Then came the warning that was before the flood
That set everybody free

Osvajači - Mask

It is the last minute before the flood,
and my ship has already escaped
on the neck teeth, fear and pain
bite it harder, to end this story

Doris Dragović - Judgement day

I don't either
I found a nugget of gold
Before the flood

Jacques Brel - My father used to say

And England
And London isn't
Like before the flood anymore
The point of Bruges

Caetano Veloso - Maria Bethânia

She has given her soul to the devil but the devil gave his soul to god
She has given her soul to the devil but the devil gave his soul to god
Before the flood, after the blood
Before you can see

The Charlie Daniels Band - Tribulation

Trouble everywhere you turn

As in the time of Noah in the days before the flood
Sin will cool the love of man and the streets will run with blood

Eels - Fresh Blood

Help me out of the shape I'm in

After the fires, before the flood
My sweet baby, I need fresh blood
