lyrics

The cries of men
Their Sins
Deafened the ears of the heavens

Displeased the Gods
Disturbed their sleep
Something evil shall be done

Gods assembled
Sworn to secrecy
To decide the fate of Man

A great flood
A calamity
To wipe out the sons of man

But Ea
God of wisdom
Other thoughts crossed this mind

Whispered to me
Spoke through the reeds
A dream a vision, I can see

Build an ark
Save your family
And all the animals
You can take

Its dimensions
I shall give
In one week
You should build

No one else
You can save
All races of men
Shall perish

Your excuse
For them
The gods
Wants to banish me

At dawn
It began
Black clouds arose

Adad
Inside
Rumbling, thundering
Before him came
Shullat and Hanish
Harbingers of death

The gates
Of floods
Wide open

The winds
Gust
Smashing all
In its way
All is lost

Feared
From what
They have done

Cowardly
They
Ascending back
Crouching like
Cowering dogs

The goddess
Ishtar
Weeping, morning

The horrors
Infront
Of her eyes
For six days
For seven nights

Immortal then
I should become
Never to fear death again

This secret you seek
I shall (reveal)
Hidden in the sea it would be

As he bathed
On the journey back
A snake snatched and ate his plant

For the flesh
turns to dust
Only monuments of stone will last

“And deeds of ancient men
That are only written down
Will pass the test of time
To tell of what had passed”
