Genesis (The Making and the Fall of Man)

Текст песни Running Wild - Genesis (The Making and the Fall of Man)

"The question that is on man's mind since the beginning of time is:
'Where do we come from, where do we go?'
Well, let me tell you a story which took place a long, long time ago. 450.000 years before our time, when the atmosphere on 'Nibiru', the 12th Planet, was getting worse and worse and when 'Alalu' the sovereign of the 'Annunaki'-race was dethroned and dislodged by his opponent 'Anu'. 'Alalu' had to flee in his 'Vimana' to save his life and he came down to Earth and found something the "Anunaki" could use to filter the solar radiation, to save their atmosphere from destruction: GOLD! And 'Alalu' revealed his discovery to 'Anu' and as a reward for it he could return to his own planet. And then it all began."

A reef of gold was the right offering
For soothing with a gift of right size
He handed it over to Anu, the King
Alalu's return had its price

Enki, the scientist, the son of Anu
Came down and dug for gold
Building a haven called Eridu
He mastered his task truly bold

No more gold, the volume decreased
The heir to the throne came down
Enlil brought Edin to seize
Ripping the gold off the ground

Annunaki men dug really hard
They worked their hands to the bone
A serious revolt for setting a mark
Cause the rage and discontent had grown

Hellbound, poisoned souls
In pain they'll burn, no return
Mankind will never learn
Their blinded pride, the evil side
Firestorm will rage on the day of the falling
Armageddon's near it's the end of the genesis
Dying by the flood, no way back, no recalling
Malice and the pride is the death and the fall of man

A daring test in the hour of need
An ancient bio-robot
Annunaki-essence for an exogamy
A fertilized ovum they had

An Annunaki woman was the one who gave birth
Adapa received his science
But Adapa was banned, he wasn't it worth
Cause of malice and evil defiance

Hellbound, poisoned souls
In pain they'll burn, no return
Mankind will never learn
Their blinded pride, the evil side

Firestorm will rage on the day of the falling
Armageddon's near it's the end of the genesis
Dying by the flood, no way back, no recalling
Malice and the pride is the death and the fall of man

The gods created animals and plants
Adapa's daughters they took their chance
They got married to Annunaki men
Enlil got furious from this wicked sin
He knew a huge tidal would come
His command, no warning to none
He wanted to wipe out man from this place
He wanted to stop this conceited and evil race

As the conspirator Enki took part
Noah was charged to build up the ark
The water came deluging the spot
So, death flowed with the swallowing waves of the flood

Sodom and Gomorra they fell from grace
But the gods, they had to see for themselves
Mankind was spreading, demanding more space
Claiming the throne and its wealth

The gods had to prove who was right, who was not
Who followed the laws that they gave
Only one called "Lot" at the unholy spot
They saved him and his children from grave

Firewind blew, that unleashed the storm
Atomic explosions that raged
No more warning, no arousing alarm
Their power set an end to this age

A few good souls were sent by the gods
They tried to save mankind from fall
But the "Men In Black" were hatching a plot
Defiance and malice's their call
Grinding the earth, turning good into bad
They raged like a maniac beast
Exploiting the being, the evil did spread
Souls made for hellfire's feast

Hellbound, poisoned souls
In pain they'll burn, no return
Mankind will never learn
Their blinded pride, the evil side

Firestorm will rage on the day of the falling
Armageddon's near it's the end of the genesis
Dying by the flood, no way back, no recalling
Malice and the pride is the death and the fall of man

Firestorm will rage on the day of the falling
Armageddon's near it's the end of the genesis
Dying by the flood, no way back, no recalling
Malice and the pride is the death and the fall of man

"In the 7th month of the year 1999 an ancient god of wrath will return bringing fire, water, death and destruction
That is the day when man will be judged for all evil he has done
And he will be commanded into the eternal fire. Only the good
And righteous souls will be saved to live in eternal peace
THIS IS THE WAR OF ARMAGEDDON!
So it has been written, so it shall be done?"
