The Cut

from Collected1011 by March

/

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 others die
Nothing could go wrong now
Said the man who'd led them there
Nothing could go wrong now
But we must prepare for a long, cold Winter
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

At the end of the night
Those who remained
Crawled out from hiding
And said a prayer for the others
The earth was devastated
But the sky was clear
And a message in the clouds to them
Don't ever come back here

Will I
Will I die
Will I make the cut tonight
To see the storm of light and sound
At daybreak when I come around
To see the light of tomorrow
For the dead of today
And the river the rain of centuries made
Will wash it 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
