The temperature is falling The tide is coming in Fleeing a sinking ship Throw caution to the wind The captain blind with alcohol Steered straight into a glacier In nationalist frenzy Shackled to a mast And I hope your flag keeps you warm You'll be a lucky man Enjoy your isolation Thrashing with the drowning rats A childhood memory – your wedding day Your high school graduation Flashes by in seconds Enjoy your isolation A demagogue is gasping For air a mile deep See how the mighty fall Even rabid wolves can weep Apostles clutch at dead wood Now drifting on the surface The others fled, so now what? God is dead Sanctity in a familiar face Never escape from your cage Dressed head to toe in your colours Your windows and doors they stay closed
