The Curse Of Akkad

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"
