When the Fire Comes Down from Heaven Songtext

von Hank Williams

Way back in the day of Noah water covered all this land
And the great rainbow of promise started this whole life again
But the Bible tells of fire that will come down here some day
And the sinners will be screaming as this world passes away

When the fire comes down from heaven
This whole world will melt away
Millions then will cry for mercy
But it will be to late to pray

Texas City, Texas City oh how awful was her fate
First she burned down then exploded now the story will relate
To the wine shop in Atlanta when she burned right to the ground
Or the great fire in Chicago and the dead lay all around

When the fire comes down from heaven
This whole world will melt away
Millions then will cry for mercy
But it will be too late to pray
