Continuing the story, humanity stumbles
Gone is the glory, there's a far distant rumble

The clouds have gathered and exploded now
Axis shattered, there is no North or South
Far off, the ice is foundering slowly

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 reforming

Poles are fixed once more
Water's receding like death 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
