Rising Waters

He stood and he waited for the waters to rise

Watch the world crumble before his very eyes

Swallow the jokers he’d always despised 

Wash away the troubles, the pain and the lies

It flowed through the fences and over the walls 

This watery leveller come to take us all

No respecter of faith religion or creed

Promoted, enabled, empowered by our greed

There’s no where to run to

We’ve got no where to go

The mountains have crumbled

They’ve lost all their snow

Time had now come

Rivers breaking their banks

Nature was cleaning the system

She was refilling her tanks

His world it was ending in a watery grave

The mighty had fallen

The many and the brave

Soon the planet would be silent 

Except for the sound of a continuous wave
