The architects of Babel raised their towers to the sky
Convinced their own dominion would outlive the gods on high
Their conscience lay in ruins beneath the weight of gold
While avarice and violence consumed the young and old
Then came a voice of thunder from beyond the mortal veil
A verdict carved in silence, an immutable decree
One man received a warning while the world dismissed the sign
And fashioned an ark of timber on the edge of humankind
The heavens held their breath
The earth forgot to pray
The clouds assembled like a judgment
No empire could betray
RISE, ARK OF JUDGMENT! SAIL INTO THE NIGHT!
Through the wrath of heaven, through the dying light!
Let the oceans swallow every throne of clay
Let the sins of ages wash the world away!
RISE, ARK OF SALVATION! CARRY HOPE THROUGH THE STORM!
When the foundations crumble, let a new world be reborn!
Beyond the flood, beyond despair
A covenant awaits us there!
The creatures came in pairs beneath a suffocating sky
While thunder split the firmament and swallowed every cry
The fountains of the deep arose, the ancient boundaries broke
And all the proud civilizations vanished underneath the flood
No monument endured the tide, no army could resist
No wealth could purchase passage through the cataclysmic mist
The mighty and the powerless alike were swept away
As nature bore witness to the price of moral decay
The rain became a requiem
The waves a funeral drum
The world that mocked the warning
Could not escape what had to come
RISE, ARK OF JUDGMENT! SAIL INTO THE NIGHT!
Through the wrath of heaven, through the dying light!
Let the oceans swallow every throne of clay
Let the sins of ages wash the world away!
RISE, ARK OF SALVATION! CARRY HOPE THROUGH THE STORM!
When the foundations crumble, let a new world be reborn!
Beyond the flood, beyond despair
A covenant awaits us there!
Forty days of darkness, forty nights of rain
A world reduced to silence, a memory of pain
Yet somewhere in the heavens, a hidden promise gleamed
Beyond the reach of vengeance, beyond the death of dreams
Then the waters slowly yielded to the patience of the dove
And the clouds revealed a rainbow, an emblem of divine love
Not a triumph forged in conquest, not a kingdom built on fear
But a covenant of mercy for the generations here
Remember what was lost
Remember what survived
A world may drown in its own pride
Yet hope can still arise
RISE, ARK OF JUDGMENT! SAIL INTO THE LIGHT!
Let the rainbow tear the darkness from the sky!
Let the fallen kingdoms teach the truth they could not see
No empire lasts forever, no soul is truly free
From the consequences of the choices made in pride—
Yet a promise shines beyond the turning tide!
RISE, ARK OF SALVATION! LET THE NEW WORLD BE BORN!
Let the bells of hope ring out across the storm!
Beyond the flood, beyond despair
The covenant remains—
A RAINBOW IN THE FLAMES!
