Can you feel the cries from the other side of the river?
Coming through our blackened window, while we listen to the rain.
No one is sleeping at all anymore and I am exhausted.
I just want to forget it all and wake up feeling brand new.
We'll listen to the rain as it hits our streets.
Don't Sleep, Swim!
Prepare for the flood, prepare for the flood, can you feel the water rising up?
I think it's far too late now, but I will never, never give up!

thats straight from jordan himself
I think it's about a disaster (a flood - maybe Katrina...)
And the singer can hear people crying out from the other side of the street (it's so flooded it seems like a river now) and no-one can sleep because of what they've seen/heard.
Someone is telling them to "Prepare for the flood" and even though it's obviously too late for that they're gonna try and help people.
Anyway it's an awesome song.
'Scremo boy' if you love screamo as the name implies, how come you can't spell it?
