lyrics

when Giants roamed
in the days of old
when my spirit abode
amongst those flesh and bone

and today I grieve
for the world i conceived
I must kill each man
every bird, insect and beast

the sons of God took women
and woman gave them child
I see now the evil
Adam has in his line
wickedness and judgement
the fate of all mankind 
their heart and thoughts are evil 
monstrous brood of mine

I cannot see
who walked with me
no justice or reprieve
this earth corrupt before me

and I am driven mad
by the sons of Adam
all I now see
is that which breaks and destroys me

the world an evil place
Ha'adam a wicked race
never was there hope
to change the darkness that bore me

and today I grieve
for the world i conceived
I must kill each man
every thing which moves and breathes now

I will send the waters
and take all living things
to destroy from under heaven
all that moves and breathes
no man or beast surviving
no wives or sons of man
there's no way left to hide from
the wrath I fill on this land

the world's destroyed by water
there is nothing left
the world's destroyed by water
man is put to rest
yet under waves of water
I see something strange
a pitched ark made of cedar
filled with living things

man has turned and fooled me
used my madness to gain
a trickster man of Noach
hidden under waves

the whole world now against me
because of cleansing rains
man must learn to fear me
or he'll know we're the same

I will give them scripture
lay my story down
make them think I spared him
they won't see I'm insane

make this man a prophet
father to many lands
pride and ego save me

man cannot not escape it
man will always fall
it may have lived through water
but the world won't live for long
