Текст песни After The Flood (Van Der Graaf Generator) с переводом

Continuing the story, humanity stumbles —

Gone is the glory, there’s a far distant rumble

The clouds have gathered and exploded now:

Axes shattered, there is no North or South

Far off, the ice is foundering slowly

The ice is turning to water

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

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 re-forming:

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 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
