Introduction Beneath the giants' steps, the earth has bent, The world drowned in its own vain intent. Yet one man raised his eyes toward the sky, To build the refuge and the calling high. Verse 1 The giants came to stain creation's grace, Filling the cities with a violent embrace. The earth was veiled in blood and heavy dust, As mankind broke the light of sacred trust. Yet Noah walked upright amid the roar, Deaf to their insults, marching to the core, Teaching his sons to walk the faithful way, While the horizon darkened day by day. Chorus They called me a fool in the public square, While the world sank deep in its dark despair. I gathered the wood, I hammered each plank, With a steady faith that never sank. They laughed to see me building far from the tide, Till the rain washed away their mocking pride. So yes, I condemned the world, by faith alone! Verse 2 Fifty years of labor, sweat, and tears, Raising this ark above the mockers' jeers. The rebel angels and their angry brood, Cast shadows on our lonely, quiet solitude. Yet the timber grew, massive and profound, By the stubborn hand of the faithfulound. And while their voices laughed at all our pain, We carried provisions through sun and rain. Chorus They called me a fool in the public square, While the world sank deep in its dark despair. I gathered the wood, I hammered each plank, With a steady faith that never sank. They laughed to see me building far from the tide, Till the rain washed away their mocking pride. So yes, I condemned the world, by faith alone! Verse 3 Seven quiet days before the storm would wake, Beasts came marching in for safety's sake. Two by two, by thousands, led by instinct true, They found their shelter for the world anew. Then the heavy door closed in a sudden flash, And the laughter outside turned to silent ash. Forty days of rain, mountains swallowed whole, The earth was cleansed, and healed its very soul. Chorus They called me a fool in the public square, While the world sank deep in its dark despair. I gathered the wood, I hammered each plank, With a steady faith that never sank. They laughed to see me building far from the tide, Till the rain washed away their mocking pride. So yes, I condemned the world, by faith alone! Outro A year in the shadows, then the dry land springs, The very first offering as the morning sings. Across the torn sky, a rainbow is unfurled, A promise of peace to a rescued world. From our quiet steps, humanity starts anew... We dared to be different, and walked it through.
