The Cataclysm

I was told to build a boat
A big-ass ship
That would still float
I began the construction
Under divine protection
I was laughed at by my peers
I just tried to block my ears
Holy blueprints in my hands
Surrounded by nothing but sand
They laughed at me
I cried at them
‘Cause I knew they were all condemned
My boat will leave
I don't know when
Soil will be soaked by pouring rain
Even though I do not understand
I will follow your divine plan
One day it will be clear as the sea
Clear as the blue sky above me
Route ahead can be dark now
Fog descends before our bow
I will just keep our course true to you
Your map will see us through
One thing I did not tell
The ship was built in a bone dry dell
Every land-lubber told me
Your mind's begun to decieve
After the bright sunshine
Storm clouds filled up the whole skyline
No one noticed the frightening threat
Not before their land legs got wet
Even though I do not understand
I will follow your divine plan
One day it will be clear as the sea
Clear as the blue sky above me
Route ahead can be dark now
Fog descends before our bow
I will just keep our course true to you
Your map will see us through
They laughed at me
I cried at them
‘Cause I knew they were all condemned
God's killing spree
Rainstorm assailed
Giant waves struck high, bringing death
Even though I do not understand
I will follow your divine plan
One day it will be clear as the sea
Clear as the blue sky above me
Route ahead can be dark now
Fog descends before our bow
I will just keep our course true to you
Your map will see us through
