5. History Repeats 5:42
As in the days of Noah, so shall the coming of the Son of Man be.
The signs are ignored, and judgment draws near.
Ref: Gen. 6–7; Matt. 24:37–39; Luke 17:26; 1 Thess. 5:3

Verse 1
They ate, they drank, they built their homes,
Married off sons, built kingdoms of stone.
But truth was drowned beneath their pride,
'Til flood and fire swallowed their lives.
Verse 2
No one listened, though warned for years.
They mocked the rain, they laughed at fear.
But as the ark door closed that night,
The sky split wide and crushed their might.
Chorus
History repeats — they never see it come,
Dancing on graves to the beat of a war drum.
Eyes wide shut as they mock the sign,
But the days of Noah still echo in time.
Verse 3
Now once again, the world's asleep —
False prophets sell their poison cheap.
They cry out, "Peace!" while judgment wakes,
And trade their souls for fleeting stakes.
Bridge
The signs are here, the hour is late.
The gate is narrow — few find the gate.
As it was then, so it shall be —
The Son of Man comes suddenly.
Final Chorus
History repeats — the silence, the flood,
The voices ignored, the rain, the blood.
You've read the past — now heed the call,
Or history will take you down with them all.
Outro
"As it was in the days of Noah..."
"So it shall be... again."

"And God said unto Noah, The end of all flesh is come before me; for the earth is filled with violence through them; and, behold, I will destroy them with the earth.
