lyrics

The Flood
KNIGHT That losel, man, bound in greed
CAT & KNIGHT speaks heaven’s absence.
KNIGHT Come the flood. Come the flood! [God appears] GOD I, God, the world have wrought, Heaven and Earth and all of nought. Praise me!
KNIGHT Ah, great God that art so good.
GOD That made you!
KNIGHT That made me—
GOD & KNIGHT that works not thy will is wood. Raise me!
KNIGHT Now all the world will be a flood.
GOD Serve me!
KNIGHT Your bidding to do, as flotsam would.
GOD I, God, the world have taught, at my whim shall come to nought. Praise me!
KNIGHT That dropped the devil spitting fire.
GOD That made you!
KNIGHT That made me—
GOD & KNIGHT And him too, cast him down to us. Raise me!
KNIGHT From an icy sleep to a searing sun.
GOD & KNIGHT Serve me!
KNIGHT Your meal and miserable test!
GOD I, God, the world have taught, at my whim shall come to nought. Praise me!
KNIGHT Holding a candle to the dark?
GOD That made you!
KNIGHT That made me—
GOD & KNIGHT Spewed from the earth was I. Raise me!
KNIGHT Above the flashing wears of flesh.
KNIGHT GOD [together] Serve me!
KNIGHT Save me!
KNIGHT Woe for the land our lord a child.
GOD I, God, the world have wrought, Heaven and Earth and all of nought. I, God, the world have wrought, Heaven and Earth and all of nought. I, God, the world have taught, at my whim shall come to nought.
KNIGHT Come the flood. Come the flood!
