Текст песни Fed By Ravens, Eaten By Vultures (Tourniquet) с переводом

After final separation of the twelve tribes

The kingdom of Israel succumbed to idolatry

God’s anger raged at King Ahab and his nation

For idolatry and persecution of His priests

They were put to death in astonishing numbers

Now God’s plan — a punishment for their sins

He sent Elijah

(Tell him!) To tell King Ahab

(Three years!) For three years and a half

(No rain!) No rain shall fall in Israel

As soon as Elijah had foretold this great evil

God bade him hide himself from the rage of Ahab

In a certain place near the brook called Cherith

Where He had commanded the ravens to feed him

So he dwelt and drank of the water from the brook

While the ravens brought him food morning and evening

Do unto the least of these

(God's plan!) God’s instruments of his plan

(Ravens!) The blackest bird of them all

(Fed him!) The ravens heard God’s call

God provides when hope is gone today

God provides when you must hide away

God provides when hope is gone today

«The members of Jeroboam’s family

Who die in the city will be eaten by dogs

And those who die in the field

Will be eaten by vultures

I, the Lord, have spoken.»
