Lyrics
I?M GOING UNDER (FLASH FLOOD)
©2000 by John G. Fausett
I?m going under to the sound of thunder
And you know, it?s not a wonder
I?m going under to the sound of thunder
The result of a fatal blunder
I paid no attention to the radio
I laughed at the man on the television
I got in my car because I just had to go
But now I?m aware it was only a fool?s decision
Flash flood will show no mercy
A wall of water is so unforgiving
Flash flood will show no mercy
The unbelievers are no longer living --- flash flood!
I looked each way, there was no one around
And I proceeded to ignore the barricade
Now it?s too late and I?m going to drown
A dire consequence of a deadly choice I made
Flash flood will show no mercy
A wall of water is so unforgiving
Flash flood will show no mercy
The unbelievers are no longer living --- flash flood!
I still have a minute, so listen to me
You?d better take a warning seriously
Time after time we underestimate
The power of water moving along at a rapid rate
Flash flood will show no mercy
A wall of water is so unforgiving
Flash flood will show no mercy
The unbelievers are no longer living --- flash flood!
I?m going under to the sound of thunder
And you know, it?s not a wonder
I?m going under to the sound of thunder
The result of a fatal blunder
