Deucalion sits in his backyard looking at the sky
Dark clouds gathering Deucaliion wonders whyyyyyy
Dancers answers the world has come to an end
Man behaves in a way that was never meant
So build a chest out of wood
and gather food as much as you can
for the chest will be your hiding place
you'll be the last and first of men
So build a chest out of wood
and take your wife and hide
cause soon the tide will rise
Then the rains will come and a flood will cover the earth
all that lives will soon be immersed in the water
it's a shame that the world is coming to an end
Man behaves in a way that was never meant
So build a chest out of wood
and gather food as much as you can
for the chest will be your hiding place
you'll be the last and first of men
So build a chest out of wood
and take your wife and hide
cause soon the tide will rise
When the rains have stopped and all that's left is you and your wife
And the two of you can start with the rest of your lives
you will ask for the oracle she will tell you what to do
listen carefully to her advice cause you'll need every clue
So build a chest out of wood
and gather food as much as you can
for the chest will be your hiding place
you'll be the last and first of men
So build a chest out of wood
and take your wife and hide
cause soon the tide will rise
Hide your face and throw the bones, taken from mother earth
Throw the bones behind your back, repopulate give birth, give biiiiirrrth
(guitar and keyboard solos)
Deucalion sits in his backyard looking at the sky
Dark clouds gathering Deucaliion wonders whyyyyyy
Dancers answers the world has come to an end
Man behaves in a way that was never meant
Then the rains will come and a flood will cover the earth
all that lives will soon be immersed in the water
it's a shame that the world is coming to an end
Man behaves in a way that was, never meant
So build a chest out of wood
and gather food as much as you can
for the chest will be your hiding place
for the last and first of men
So build a chest out of wood
and take your wife and hide
cause soon the tide will rise
