1
Standing, on the edge of forever
At the start of whatever
Shouting love at the world
Back then, we were like cavemen
But we map the moon and the stars
Then we forgave them
We will meet you where the lights are
The defenders, of the faith we are
Where the thunder turns around
They'll run so hard we'll tear the ground away
You know no one dies
In these love drowned eyes
Through our love drowned eyes
We'll watch you sleep tonight
Although no one understood
We were holding back the flood
Learning how to dance the rain
We were holding back the flood
They said we'd never dance again
Bleeding, but none of us leaving
Watch your mouth son or you'll find yourself floating home
Here we come now on a dark star
Seeing demons, not what we are
Tiny minds and eager hands
Will try to strike but now will end today
There's progress now where there once was none
Where there once was none, then everything came along
Although no one understood
We were holding back the flood learning how to dance the rain
There was more of them than us now they'll never dance again
Although no one understood
There was more of them than us learning how to dance the rain
We were holding back the flood they said we'd never dance again
We will meet you where the lights are
The defenders, of the faith we are
Where the thunder turns around
They'll run so hard we'll tear the ground away
Although no one understood
There was more of them than us learning how to dance the rain
(learning how to dance the rain)
There was more of them than us now they'll never dance again
Now we'll never dance again
Oh ah
Oh ah
Oh ah
Oh ah
Oh ah
Oh ah
Oh ah
At the start of whatever
Shouting love at the world
Back then, we were like cavemen
But we map the moon and the stars
Then we forgave them
We will meet you where the lights are
The defenders, of the faith we are
Where the thunder turns around
They'll run so hard we'll tear the ground away
You know no one dies
In these love drowned eyes
Through our love drowned eyes
We'll watch you sleep tonight
Although no one understood
We were holding back the flood
Learning how to dance the rain
We were holding back the flood
They said we'd never dance again
Bleeding, but none of us leaving
Watch your mouth son or you'll find yourself floating home
Here we come now on a dark star
Seeing demons, not what we are
Tiny minds and eager hands
Will try to strike but now will end today
There's progress now where there once was none
Where there once was none, then everything came along
Although no one understood
We were holding back the flood learning how to dance the rain
There was more of them than us now they'll never dance again
Although no one understood
There was more of them than us learning how to dance the rain
We were holding back the flood they said we'd never dance again
We will meet you where the lights are
The defenders, of the faith we are
Where the thunder turns around
They'll run so hard we'll tear the ground away
Although no one understood
There was more of them than us learning how to dance the rain
(learning how to dance the rain)
There was more of them than us now they'll never dance again
Now we'll never dance again
Oh ah
Oh ah
Oh ah
Oh ah
Oh ah
Oh ah
Oh ah

Yes this song is about the beginning of the bible which states that God wiped out the earth and all breathing creatures. He took two by two (cell division) to have the dna to create further beings. Then the flood occurred which wiped out all life apart from the ark and noah. Life was then recreated. This is the missing link in evolution and obviously has been put into a pop song to convey a subliminal message.
