Lyrics to The Deluge
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
