ฟังเพลงThe Death Of Methuselah

The Death Of Methuselah - Don Francisco

I was born just east of Eden, many centuries ago

and with Adam down to Jared I have watched this river flow

the name my father gave me, soon it's message will be done

Methuselah he called me, when he dies then it shall come.

In the first three hundred years I saw him almost every day

though Enoch is my father, still it's true these words I say.

That there never lived a man like him who walked with God above

so merciful and righteous, and so full of faith and love

An otherworldly wisdom was in all he'd do and say

and I'd feel God's holy power every time that he would pray.

So often I would see him, sitting quiet by the tree,

and I could hear the heavenly voices

and the light was strange to see.

I followed when he climbed upon the mountain top that day

for I knew somehow the time had come for him to go away

and I say the Lord descending

and the glory of His throne

when He took him from the earth

and left me kneeling there alone.

I could see the darkness deepening now

my race is almost run

there's a rumbling in the distance

and at last your ark is done.

And Noah, now you've come to me,

it's time for me to die.

Enoch's voice is calling me

and I must say goodbye

My father's voice is calling me

it's time to say goodby

Goodbye.
