INTRO
VERSE 1
A voice from the heavens, thunder in the sky,
The Great and Holy One, His words echo high.
"Arsyalalyur, go forth to Lamech's son,
A deluge is coming, the judgment has begun."
PRE-CHORUS
"Hide yourself, and tell him what must be,
For a flood shall come, consuming land and sea.
All living souls shall feel the roaring wave,
But I shall save the righteous, the faithful, the brave."
CHORUS
A flood shall come, upon the earth,
Cleansing the wicked, silencing mirth.
In the days of Noah, the waters rise,
The wrath of heaven drowns their lies.
VERSE 2
Noah found grace, in the sight of the Lord,
A righteous man, who obeyed His word.
"Build an ark, a vessel true and wide,
Gather your kin, in this ark abide."
PRE-CHORUS
"And bring the beasts, two by two,
The air shall darken, the storms break through.
For forty days and forty nights it rains,
And all creation is washed, their cries in vain."
CHORUS
A flood shall come, upon the earth,
Cleansing the wicked, silencing mirth.
In the days of Noah, the waters rise,
The wrath of heaven drowns their lies.
BRIDGE
"And behold, I, even I, do bring the flood,
Upon this world, cleansing it with blood.
The fountains of the deep burst forth,
The sky's dark fury, a trembling earth."
BREAKDOWN
"In the days of Noah, men feasted, laughed, and danced,
They heard the warnings, but never gave a glance.
Until the rain, unceasing, fell,
The wicked swept to a watery hell."
CHORUS
A flood shall come, upon the earth,
Cleansing the wicked, silencing mirth.
In the days of Noah, the waters rise,
The wrath of heaven drowns their lies.
OUTRO
But Noah stood in faith, his family saved,
The covenant sealed, the waters caved.
And from the ark, life did spring anew,
The promise of a world, cleansed, true.
