The children of Job lived piously and well off
Seven sons like those pines, seven daughters like those birches
They respected their father and they loved their mother
They lived in line with every God's Commandment
But that night flash and crash
Collapsed their safe house
And a hail of rock fell on their heads like an avalanche
They won't see a sunrise ever again
Seven pines and seven birches
In one night the world lost the entire forest
For the fathers' overzealousness
In the belief in a higher justice
That demands the trust in good's triumph over evil
For loyalty and humility
And the overdo of grace
For disbelief in the world beyond a doorstep that is
[SPOKEN]
For that bet between the Devil and God
Whose fire will be stronger

Children of Job, Children of Job
End is coming
[INSTRUMENTAL]
The children of Job lived for the hope in the future of the family
Seven sons like those swords, seven daughters like those roses
They've never tasted the taste of blood nor the taste of hunger
And who knew them foretold them a happy fate
But that night crash and flash
Turned the sleeping into dust
God's sunrise watched only the smoking debris
The infallible judge watched
As the merciful wind
Carried Job's pious lament to the sky
For that bet between God and the Devil
Alining with your business
Although the five senses are warning you
For that bet between God and the Devil
For the next page of history
For two ends of the stick, for a simple desire to live
[SPOKEN]
For the things you won't see
'Cause your life will be taken
[SUNG]
Children of Job, Children of Job
Death is coming
