Letra da Música: The Curse Of Akkad - Sargon

Prelude

I'm gonna tell you a story
Of an old town
The story of how hate, rage and lies
Can grow up for a crown
An Oblivion won't die
As the storyteller said
So now close your eyes and dream away...

Part I:Enlil's Anger

'It all was made by the will of Enlil...'

The Moon showed his light
Over Kish town
Enlil opened his heart of hate,
Sargon swallowed the pain whole
When he reigned
And Akkad was rich and powerful.

But those days have gone
The Ekur's been destroyed
Where are the sons?
The sons of Akkad!

Naramsin the immortal
He lays in the river Euphrates
Waiting for dawn
So the atrocity began

The Ekur was destroyed
There was no other choice
Akkad's Serenity
Where's now the human being?
The town is silent now
The sun's going down

So this is the story
Of Akkad's misery
Now no one wants the crown
Of this damned town

Part II: A Mirage In The Desert

'The dawn arrived....'

'Oh great Enlil, I talk to Thee
No Wall, no rival against Thee
Kish is so quiet, that I can hear Thee speak
God I wish you not to believe'.

Turning back to Akkad
The flames burn higher
The Ancient ones had to blame

But it wasn't worth it
'cause they were the masters
Oh the dark ones,
The Masters of Akkad

All the settlement could hear the growls
From the mountains above
Shadows were descending down
It was the Guti town

Part III: The Fall

'The curse was cast ...'

There was no salt in the sea
There were no feathers in the trees
There was no hope for the century
The seed of pain had grown
Flowers of madness reigned
All over the crown.

Akkad's Serenity...

So this is the story...

And then the rain fell down
Covering all that they had
The ruins of Akkad
The future was just a mirage
Of a world that never was
Decay of Akkad
The sun sets forever more
Over the old destroyed town
The ruins of Akkad
Everything can change
Even the most perfect soul
Akkad!

Postlude

And thus ends our story

Of a bloody town
The story of how
Glory and men can destroy a land
And our lives will go on
As Mother Nature did
You know what they say:
'The story repeats'
