Dawn Of Mankind

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
