Long songs that tell a story (programming.dev)

Do you know a long song that doesn't repeat itself and sort of tells a story through music (maybe without words)?

Swans - Bring The Sun/Toussaint L'Ouverture

It's 34 minutes but it's kind of 2 songs. It has lyrics but they're more of a vibe than actual coherent thoughts. The first half is like a slowly swelling religious fervor/extacy with a great climax. If I were ever to join a doomsday cult and we all go crazy and kill ourselves, we would do it to that song. The second half is expressing feelings of disgust during moments lost in thought while plotting revolution.
