lyrics

The Oldest Gods
“Beyond the subterranean seas, beyond the arcane green,
Far from the oceans azure gaze, forgotten,
Where the earth was as cold as the stars above,
Beyond the 7 Gates and man’s feeble gait
The Mother of all gods sleeps, abandoned by the world…”
Cosmic wisdom betrayed,
Desecration steals their names…
Enkil, Enlil, Ninhursag, Nanna, Utu, Inanna!

Sumer’s lost, the seasons change,
Twilight leaves the ember age
Empires demise, fallen…
Like a grief-stricken bride, alone, they cry
Tears fell from the sky (That night)
Forgotten children… of the Skyfather
Cursed, despise, a memory malign
Banished by man… Heart-broken plight

“Once burning in the hearts of men, the embers fade away
Now carried on the winds, the gods of yesterday
Once sailing on gentle streams, they sunk in violent seas
In a world that waded deep to drown the past beneath…”

Temples scorched, their Palaces burn
Spurned Faith, faith destroyed, God-Kings Butchered, servants slain
Bleeding… departing on the crimson sea
Kings of many kingdoms wait with Queens on wisdom’s shore
In silence watching over them all… In darkness wait for dawn…
