The Deluge Lyrics

GIULLAUME: I know who has stopped the light brought us hail, brought us blight Martin has not touched his wife since the day, they wed FATHER DOMINIC: what's this? ROSE: yes, I heard their sheets are clean JEANNE & BLANCHE: so that's why Bertrande's so pale and lean GUILLAUME: he's bewitched, what else can all this mean? JEANNE, ROSE & BLANCHE: this must be the reason why though we pray, though we try Jesus has not blessed the crops all we had is lost FATHER DOMINIC: Martin, is it true that your duty was not done you provoke God's anger Martin, all it takes is one VILLAGERS: evil spirits all around flying low, seeking prey GASPARD: Satan's sticking needles in the stomachs of our cows EMILE: Martin brought God's anger he did not respect his vows FATHER DOMINIC: have we failed you? Show us Lord is this judgement day MADAME DE ROLS: Bertrande, confess to God and tell the truth or else you'll burn in hell BERTRANDE: each night we get so close but still we don't make love but soon I swear we will VILLAGERS: shame! shame! FATHER DOMINIC (to Martin): Your unholy behaviour has unleashed God's anger against Artigat. VILLAGERS: shame! FATHER DOMINIC: It is a sin against God not to consummate your holy wedding. A Catholic child must be conceived in every Catholic bed. VILLAGERS: shame! FATHER DOMINIC: Remember the Protestants on your wedding day. Remember the Fall in the Garden of Eden. All it takes is one. I feel the Devil hovering all around us. VILLAGERS (crossing themselves): Satan! Satan! Satan! Satan! FATHER DOMINIC: we are the children of the lord MARTIN: I have done nothing wrong PIERRE: you have brought us the floods FATHER DOMINIC: we are the soldiers by his sword VILLAGERS: keep away MARTIN: do not touch me again VILLAGERS: he's possessed! GUILLAUME: the demon's inside him VILLAGERS: God forbid MADAME DE ROLS: we're all good Catholics here ALL: spirit is broken MARTIN: you have all gone mad ALL: Satan lives within his soul
