Like the Sound of Many Waters Lyrics

Seven man-fish sages

Out of the belly of the fish

Wisdom Built her house

She set out its seven pillars

Who went out and bore children to them

From their seed the fruit of knowledge spread throughout the land

And as men perished, they cried, and the archangels looked down from heaven...

Michael, Uriel, Raphael, Gabriel

And saw much blood being shed upon the earth

They devoured one another

And then they drank the blood

They were men of renown

They were known across the world

These are their chiefs of tens, the lawless ones

And the whole earth has now been corrupted through their works

We were in our own sight like the grasshoppers

And so we were to the sons of Anak

They are born from men and from the Watchers

Evil spirits on earth, and evil spirits they shall be called

And as men perished, they cried, and their cry went up to heaven...

Lord of lords, God of gods, King of kings, God of the ages

Thou seest these things and Thou dost suffer them

Tears flood down the rivers

As God sees this world destroyed

A libation for the ashes

Making soil, the breath of life

So much pain have caused, the sons of heaven

Defiling the young through unspeakable abominations

O son of man

Is it a light thing?

Is it a light thing, that which they commit here?

They have filled the land with violence, and provoked me to anger

Therefore I will also deal in fury, mine eye, it shall not spare

And though they cry in mine ears, yet will I not hear

Azâzêl made known to them the metals of the earth

Semjâzâ taught enchantments, and root-cuttings

Barâqîjâl, astrology

Armârôs the resolving

Ezêqêêl taught the knowledge of the clouds

Kôkabêl the constellations, Araqiêl the signs of the earth

Shamsiêl the signs of sun

Sariêl the course of the moon
