Building The Ark

(album: Mabool - The Story Of The Three Sons Of Seven - 2004)

Comque vidisset Deus terran esse corruptam omnis
quippe caro corruperat viam suam super terram

Fac tibi arcam de lignis levigatis mansiunculas
in arca facies et bitumine linies intrinsecus et extrinsecus
...corrupta est autem terra coram Deo...
Et ex cunctis animantibus universe carnis bina
induces in arcam ut vivant tecum...

[Translation:]
And God looks upon the earth, and, behold, it was corrupt;
for all flesh had corrupted his way upon the earth.

"Make Thee an ark of gopher wood;
rooms shalt thou make in the ark,
and shalt pitch it within and without with pitch"
...The earth was corrupt before God...
"Of every living thing of all flesh,
two of every sort shalt thou bring into the ark
to keep them alive with thee"

"Thy servants are we,
our Lord who sits up high
Thy rod and Thy staff
shall comfort and guide our hands"
