Lyrics
As the rain fell
They all gathered for the night
With their faces pressed against the window
They watched the water rise
They watched the sky turn black
They watched the people die
'Nothing could go wrong now'
Said the man who had led them there
'Nothing could go wrong now
But we must prepare for a
Long, cold winter
But we'll make it through
We'll make it through'
And the first born
Were put to sacrifice
All the dying sun had been
Was a messenger of Christ
And through the rain of centuries
It wouldn't take long
Before man was just a memory
And everything they were was gone
And at the end of the night
Those who remained
Crawled out from hiding
And said a prayer for the others
The Earth was devastated
And the sky was clear
And a message in the clouds for them:
'Don't ever come back here'
Will I
Will I die
Will I make The Cut tonight
And see the storm of light and sound
At daybreak when I come around
I'll see the light of tomorrow
For the dead of today
And the river the rain of centuries made
Has washed them all away
And the New World
Would be a paradise
All that Man's home had been
Was too high a price
And through the rain of centuries
It wouldn't take long
Before man was just a memory
And nothing more could go wrong
