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 (Mazel Tov), 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
