1. The farmer was struck down by the Euphrates
It used to give him life

2. And in the end it brought him
Disaster upon disaster

3. Mothers who pray for little ones
And little ones prayed for by mothers

4. They have all become without shelter
And gone hungry, naked

5. The crop was lost when ripe
Then the home, the sheep and the cows

6. All this in a night when floods poured down
And darkness intensified

7. Nature itself is shackled
And all its laws are links
