After The Flood Lyrics

After The Flood lyrics

Continuing the story, humanity stumbles--
gone is the glory, there's a far
distant rumble.
The clouds have gathered and exploded now:
axes
shattered, there is no North or South!
Far off, the ice is foundering
slowly...
the ice is turning to water.
The wa
ter rushes over
all,
cities crash in the mighty wave;
the final man is very
small,
plunging in for his final bathe.
This is the ending of the
beginning...
this is the beginning of the end,
middle of the middle,
mid-point, end and start:
the first peak rises, forces the waves
apart.
Far off, the ice is now re-forming:
poles are fixed once
more,
water's receding, like death-blood.
And when the water falls
again,
all is dead and nobody lives.
And 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, the beginning of the end.
And when the
water falls again
all is dead and nobody lives....
