Forty days and forty nights
The darkness and the rain
The waters rose in Eridu
But you revelled in our pain
You revelled in our pain
You call it a miracle, the cleansing of the years
The waters rose in Eridu, and my family flees in fear
Forty days and forty nights
The darkness and the rain
The waters rose in Eridu
But you revelled in our pain
You revelled in our pain
We've been judged by you, we are God forsaken
My children's tears, I can't hold back
I won't hold back
Ohhhh
Forty days and forty nights
The darkness and the rain
The waters rose in Eridu
But you revelled in our pain
You revelled in our pain
You call it a miracle, the cleansing of the years
The waters rose in Eridu, and my family flees in fear
