The Flood

The Flood Lyrics

The Flood Song Lyrics

---

FATHER
This was the last chance I would give
Now it is corrupted, defiled and vain
Is there no escape from the race of Cain?
Except to make it rain and rain and rain

STORYTELLERS
Windows of heaven and fountains of the deep
Windows of heaven and fountains of the deep

FATHER (and STORYTELLERS)
(Open!) Behold I will blot out mankind from the face of the earth
(Open!) Both man and beast and every creeping thing
(Open!) The end of all flesh is come before me
Rain (Rain!) until the end of time
(Rain!) And let the raging skies
Send it down as an endless hurricane
I made everything out of nothing
Now nothing will remain
And to the skies I send my word
Forever will it rain

FATHER
Oh my children that I love so well
My heart is dark and cold
I thought that you would keep me young
But you have made me old
All my labor all my love
I wonder now why did I bother
That’s what it means to be a father
I have destroyed the thing I loved
And now I feel so old

STORYTELLERS
And the waters were upon the face of the earth
Drowning out the promise of their first hopeful birth
Without form, void, darkness
