The Oldest Gods Lyrics


“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…
