In the garden of life, there was loneliness And the gods made a plan for their land Creating a servant, a man-child - a new race down on earth But the blood of a God was the missing link To mix it with loam and with bones One of them had to die a brother they must kill For the one who caused the slaughter Made a God kill other gods Is the one who is lying in chains before our feet From his blood we will create them Make them serve and work the land They will live under command to bear the load From the flesh and soul a God they lived I bound forever, related by blood And a home for their dreams was the first aim, babylon was born The creators stood proud and then watched their breed The beauty that grew down on earth But things got out of hand, a tragedy began Even masters and redeemers Are never free from sin And the creatures on earth fell in love with the ancient ones So the world remained in chaos And they gathered once again To wash away the sins once and for all… once and for all And the water came pouring from the skies that opened wide Every life on earth sank down in the flood sent by the gods But an ember's fire was left To sow the seed of life again Dwelling in the ark, one was left in shelter from the rain Enki saved his life against the council of the elders Utnapischtim rise, you shall live beyond the flood… forevermore From the flesh and the soul of a God they live Bound forever, related by blood Now free from the chains they once bound The dawning of mankind The creators are proud and they watch their breed The beauty that grows down on earth A God became a man… a man became a God
