'Mabool - The Story Of The Three Sons Of Seven'
|
Read what Kobi Farhi and Matti Svatizky have to
say about the individual songs on "Mabool":
|
|
1. Birth Of The Three (6:57) |
|
The Unification
|
|
The Three Sons Of Seven - the heroes of ORPHANED
LAND's flood story - are the re-incarnated souls of the Seventh Angel Of
Seven (the Creator of all). They were born as the three sons of the
three monotheistic religions. The time they were born thunders struck
the Earth and a big celebration was held in their home lands.
|
|
2. Ocean Land (4:43) |
|
The Revelation
|
|
The Three heroes find each other: Once they are
united they see a vision and a revelation about a raging storm and flood
that will destruct the sinful Orphaned Land, they understand the purpose
of their birth and their mission among their people.
|
|
3. The Kiss Of Babylon (7:23) |
|
The Sins
|
|
The Three travel the land and learn about the
crimes of mankind against their own brothers and sisters, the crimes of
man against their Creator. They see the Holy Land turned into a twisted
land of hate and fear.
|
|
4. A'salk (2:05) |
|
The ones that betrayed their lands must be exiled.
This is a song of mourning from orphans who were exiled from their lands
because of their own sins and the deeds they did with their own hands.
|
|
5. Halo Dies (7:29) |
|
The Wrath Of God
|
|
The Creator speaks to the Three and tells them
about his anger and grief. He lets them see the confusion and the great
work of Satan which fools us and makes us fight against each other with
never ending bloodshed - all in a so called war under the "Name of
God". Each religion declares the same God as King and Creator of
the world, they talk about compassion, mercy, charity, but on the same
breath they don't hesitate to kill each other while carrying the name of
God… God is angry, sad and disappointed about his children.
|
|
6. A Call To Awake (6:10) |
|
The Quest
|
|
After seeing the sins and after hearing the
Creator's word they understand that they have the power to wake up their
people from their blindness and slumber. They ask their brothers to wake
up, because otherwise a flood will wash them away. Unfortunately their
people chose to ignore their warnings and start hunting the Three in
order to kill them. The Three escape from their own people who are
blinded by fear.
|
|
7. Building The Ark (5:02) |
|
Once the Three failed to wake up their people they
understand that they have no way to prevent the flood. Still, with a lot
of hope they start to build the Ark, as they were told to do so.
|
|
8. Nora El Nora (4:24) |
|
Entering The Ark
|
|
The Three are the only people in the world who
each have a different religion, but are united as one with harmony. They
pray for their lives and for the sake of all who are about to be killed
in the storm. After they prayed side by side they board the Ark together
with their families and a pair from all living beings on Earth.
|
|
9. The Calm Before The Flood [Instrumental] (4:25) |
|
The last day of mankind before the flood. All
except the Three don't believe that a flood will come. While all are
asleep the wind starts howling and all light fades - the first raindrop
falls…
|
|
10. Mabool (6:59) |
|
The Flood
|
|
Rain usually feeds the land by an act of love in
nature, but this time the rain of the storm comes to rape the corrupted
land and to wipe mankind off the face of the Earth. Mankind who has no
respect for the land, neither for human life nor their Creator -
everybody will be banished from the Earth and there will be nothing left
except one big ocean land.
|
|
11. The Storm Still Rages Inside (9:20) |
|
After 40 days of a heavy storm and rain that keeps
falling the Ark is the only thing still existing on Earth. The three
orphans - so sad from their failure of saving mankind, since they know
that all were killed by the storm - are falling on their knees and are
begging the Lord to hear their yearning and to have mercy upon them.
Basically they beg for a piece of dry land in this endless ocean.
|
|
12. Rainbow [Instrumental] (3:01) |
|
The Resurrection
|
|
The Ark finds a piece of land, the flood had
stopped and a rainbow appears as a sign of the light's return to the
Orphaned Land.
