A dead issue (a dead issue)
Don't wrestle with it (don't wrestle with it)
Deaf ears are sleeping (deaf ears are sleeping)
A guilty bliss (a guilty bliss)
So inviting (let me in)
Nailed to the cross
I feel you, relate to you
Accuse you
Wash away us all
Take us with the floods
Then throughout the night
They were raped and executed (then throughout the night)
(They were raped and executed)
Cold hearted world
Your language unheard of (your language unheard of)
The vast sound of tuning out (the vast sound of tuning out)
The rash of negativity (the rash of negativity)
Is seen one sidedly (one sidedly)
Burn away the day
The nervous, the drifting
The heaving
Wash away us all
Take us with the floods
Then throughout the day
Mankind played with grenades (then throughout the day)
(Mankind played with grenades)
Cold hearted world
And at night
They might bait the pentagram (and at night)
(They might bait the pentagram)
Extinguishing the sun
Wash away man
Take him with the floods
Flood (flood)
Flood (flood)
Don't wrestle with it (don't wrestle with it)
Deaf ears are sleeping (deaf ears are sleeping)
A guilty bliss (a guilty bliss)
So inviting (let me in)
Nailed to the cross
I feel you, relate to you
Accuse you
Wash away us all
Take us with the floods
Then throughout the night
They were raped and executed (then throughout the night)
(They were raped and executed)
Cold hearted world
Your language unheard of (your language unheard of)
The vast sound of tuning out (the vast sound of tuning out)
The rash of negativity (the rash of negativity)
Is seen one sidedly (one sidedly)
Burn away the day
The nervous, the drifting
The heaving
Wash away us all
Take us with the floods
Then throughout the day
Mankind played with grenades (then throughout the day)
(Mankind played with grenades)
Cold hearted world
And at night
They might bait the pentagram (and at night)
(They might bait the pentagram)
Extinguishing the sun
Wash away man
Take him with the floods
Flood (flood)
Flood (flood)

This song has a few religious connotations to it throughout lyrically. The first is the title ... the great flood unleashed by God.
In the second line it uses the term "nailed to the cross" ... Jesus.
Then near the end it uses the term "bait the pentagram" which generally relates to Satan (and his temptations). Also finishes up with "wash away man" ... which again relates back to the reason for the great flood in the bible.
This leads me to believe that the song is concerning the decline of modern society and that it is time for another "cleansing" of the Earth (such as told in the Bible with the flood).
I don't see anything personal in the song, it definitely appears to be a commentary on society as a whole and how "sinful" (selfish, war mongering, hatred filled, angry etc.) it has become.
