Lyrics

Way back in the days of Noah Water covered all this land Then the great rainbow of promise Started up on life again And the Good Book tells of fires That will fill the earth some day Then the sinful will be screamin' As this earth shall pass away When the fire (When the fire) Comes down from Heaven (Comes down from Heaven) This old world (This old world) Will melt away (Will melt away) Millions then (Millions then) Will cry for mercy (Will cry for mercy) But it will be (But it will be) Too late to pray Oh, this world is at a tremble And it's rockin' to and fro You can read it in the papers Hear it on the radio In the movies, they are showin' Towns and cities, how they blaze But there's hotter fire a comin' If we follow sin's highway When the fire (When the fire) Comes down from Heaven (Comes down from Heaven) This old world (This old world) Will melt away (Will melt away) Millions then (Millions then) Will cry for mercy (Will cry for mercy) But it will be (But it will be) Too late to pray Texas City, Texas City Oh, how awful was her fate First she burned and then exploded Now the story, we'll relate Of the Winecoff in Atlanta How she burned right to the ground Of the great fire in Chicago And the dead lay all around When the fire (When the fire) Comes down from Heaven (Comes down from Heaven) This old world (This old world) Will melt away (Will melt away) Millions then (Millions then) Will cry for mercy (Will cry for mercy) But it will be (But it will be) Too late to pray
