After the Flood Lyrics
Continuing the story, humanity stumbles
Gone is the glory, there's a far distant rumbleThe clouds have gathered and exploded now
Axis shattered, there is no North or South
Far off, the ice is foundering slowlyThe ice is turning to waterThe water rushes over all
Cities crash in the mighty wave
The final man is very small
Plunging in for his final batheThe water rushes over all
Cities crash in the mighty wave
The final man is very small
Plunging in for his final batheThis is the ending of the beginning
This is the beginning of the endMiddle of the middle, mid-point, end and start
The first peak rises, forces the waves apart
Far off, the ice is now reformingPoles are fixed once more
Water's receding like death blood leavingAnd when the water falls again
All is dead and nobody livesAnd when the water falls again
All is dead and nobody livesAnd when the water falls again
All is dead and nobody livesAnd when the water falls again
All is dead and nobody livesAnd then he said, every step appears to be
The unavoidable consequence of the preceding one
And in the end there beckons more and more clearly
Total annihilation'This is the ending of the beginning
This is the beginning of the endAnd when the water falls again
All is dead and nobody livesAnd when the water falls again
All is dead and nobody livesAnd when the water falls again
All is dead and nobody livesAnd when the water falls again
All is dead and nobody lives[Incomprehensible]
