After The Flood

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 ice is turning to water

The water rushes over all
Cities crash in the mighty wave
The final man is very small
Plunging in for his final bathe
The water 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 is receding, like death and blood leaving

And when the water falls again
All is dead and nobody lives
And when the water falls again
All is dead and nobody lives
And when the water falls again
All is dead and nobody lives
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 is the beginning of the end

And when the water falls again
All is dead and nobody lives
And when the water falls again
All is dead and nobody lives
And when the water falls again
All is dead and nobody lives
And when the water falls again
All is dead and nobody lives
Not one single one!
