The Heavens are Telling - Robert Shaw The Cleveland Orchestra The Cleveland Orchestra Chorus

It was the year of madness and insanity

There was no other cure for my disease

The overdose I took it 'cause I had to flee

It was nearly a journey that had no return

The fever burned I was gone delirium

There I was striding to heaven

And they were calling me from beyond and I heard

Don't look back

But I did and my eyes they can't forget that sight

'Cause all water and land was dead

Destroyed denied all tears undried

The crawling chaos comes

The twilight died eternal night

The crawling chaos comes

A giant maelstrom absorbing what we'd left back

The deserts of cadaverous mortal loam

And jungles of decay and decadence where once

Had been the homelands of my people

Temples of my ancestors they were gone dead and gone

Then the cracks in the ground they were breaking up

And all water was streaming in

Manifesting the sight of the dead berlin

And london and paris were graves

Destroyed denied all tears undried

The crawling chaos comes

The twilight died eternal night

The crawling chaos comes

Then the cracks in the ground they were breaking up

And all water was streaming in

Manifesting the sight of the dead Berlin

And London and Paris were graves

Destroyed denied all tears undried

The crawling chaos comes

The twilight died eternal night

The crawling chaos comes

Destroyed

The crawling chaos comes

The night

The crawling chaos comes
