Lyrics Orphaned Land

Orphaned Land

Mabool (The Flood)

"...Hineni mavi et hamabool maimarubot hasham al ha'aretz,

Leshachet kol basar asher bo ruach chaim mitachat hashamaim,

Kol asher ba'aretz yigva...

Vemachiti et kol hayekum asher asiti me'al pney ha'adama"

May the lord eternal save his troubled child

As he passes through rain and storm

Behind the walls of this hallowed ark of wood

Our prophets found a revelation, which they understood

Onto the lands of fearful heaven comes a flood earsing all

Landing as if a ruthless bird of prey to crush all human souls

The lightning colors of the sky with flames of light

Hell shines above us and the fires bright

Erasing the works of the common man, all we hold dear is set alight

"Bayom haze nivkeu kol ma'ayanot tehom raba

ve'arubot hashamaim niftechu

vemey hamabool hayu al ha'aretz"

Shattered glass reflects this shattered world, barren in the landscape here

Thunder roars as a lion caged, heat that comes like waves of fear

Oceans rise and rage as we watch the world powers fall

redeeming their sinful ways with their souls

May the truth fill their hearts, let them see the light, when they embrace their gods

"Vehine charvu pney ha'adama...

Shofech dam ha'adam, ba'adam damo yishapech"

Seas cover the works of timeless art

That once brought joy to human hearts

In halls of infamy this day shall live

Like burning of Rome and betrayal of Eve

Like the fire raised at the witches' stakes

Return all earthly possessions

As ashes you return to earth, child of God to face the divine lord who sits upon the throne - eyes sad

Go in peace and find thy faith

Evolve thy self and lose all hate

So a heaven you may create

In this world of sorrowful ways

None shall live to see the light of day

Some may survive to tell the tale

If their belief shall conquer this gale

Damnation is the punishment bestowed

El Norra Alila the vengeful God
