Fountains of the Deep

Oh, the Ancient of Days saw the evil of man
And it repented him that He made them
He said the end of flesh is come before me now
For their corruption, and their violence

And it grieved him in his heart
Oh, how it grieved him in his heart
To break the world all apart
The work of his hands
His work of art

But just one man found grace in his eyes
Just this one man is set aside
With wife and sons and wives of their own
An ark to save them
Both flesh and bone

So when the door closes tight
Right behind you and you're lock in
Not every prison is grievous
To be held within
Secure enough to sleep
Amidst the fountains of the deep

Oh, the deep burst forth and the rains came down
Yes, the windows were all opened
Oh, the waters and all men fled
But where on earth could they run to?

And it grieved him in his heart
Oh how it grieved him in his heart
Don't you know that he heard their cries?
Yes, he saw them as they died

Now just eight souls, a remnant saved
To fill again a world remade
A promise signed by a bow in the sky
Because next time it will be fire

So when the door closes tight
Right behind you and you're lock in
Not every prison is grievous
To be held within
Secure enough to sleep
Amidst the fountains of the deep
