Stephen Schwartz - The Flood 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 [STORYTELLERS] Open! [FATHER, spoken] Behold I will blot out mankind from the face of the earth [STORYTELLERS] Open! [FATHER, spoken] Both man and beast and every creeping thing [STORYTELLERS] Open! [FATHER, spoken] The end of all flesh is come before me [FATHER] Rain! [STORYTELLERS] Rain! [FATHER] Until the end of time [STORYTELLERS] Rain! [FATHER, STORYTELLERS] 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
