Genesis Lyrics - Singles - Running Wild

The question that is on man's mind since the beginning of time is 

"Where do we come from, where do we go?" 

Well let me tell you a story which took place a long, long time ago. 

450.000 years before our time, when the atmosphere on "Nibiru" the 12th 

planet was getting worse and worse and when "Alalu" the sovereign of the 

"Annunaki-race" was dethroned and dislodged by his opponent "Anu". 

"Alalu" had to flee in his "Vimana" to save his life and he came down to 

Earth and found something the "Anunaki" could use to filter the solar 

radiation to save their atmosphere from destruction: 

"GOLD"! 

And "Alalu" revealed his discovery to "Anu" and as a reward for it he 

could return to his own planet. 

AND THEN IT ALL BEGAN! 

A reef of gold was the right offering 

For soothing with a gift of right size 

He handed it over to Anu the King 

Alalu's return had its price 

Enki the scientist the son of Anu 

Came down and dog for gold 

Building a haven called Eridu 

He mastered his task truly bold 

No more gold, the volume decreased 

The heir to the throne came down 

Enlil brought Edin to seize 

Ripping the gold of the ground 

Annunaki men dug really hard 

They worked their hands to the bone 

A serious revolt for setting a mark 

Cause the rage and discontent had grown 

Hellbound, poisoned souls, in pain they'll burn, no return 

Mankind will never learn, their blinded pride, the evil side 

The firestorm will rage on the day of the falling 

Armageddon's near it's the end of the genesis 

Dying by the flood, no way back, no recalling 

The malice and the pride is the death and the fall of man 

A daring test in the hour of need 

An ancient bio-robot 

Annunaki-essence for an exogamy 

A fertilized ovum they had 

An Annunaki woman was the one who gave birth 

Adapa received his science 

But Adapa was banned, he wasn't it worth 

Cause of malice and evil defiance 

Hellbound, poisoned souls, in pain they'll burn, no return 

Mankind will never learn, their blinded pride, the evil side 

The firestorm will rage on the day of the falling 

Armageddon's near it's the end of the genesis 

Dying by the flood, no way back, no recalling 

The malice and the pride is the death and the fall of man 

The gods created animals and plants 

Adapa's daughters they took their chance 

They got married to Annunaki men 

Enlil got furious from wicked sin 

He knew a huge tidal would come 

His command, no warning to none 

He wanted to wipe out man from this place 

He wanted to stop this conceited and evil race 

As the conspirator Enki took part 

Noah was charged to build up the ark 

The water came deluging the spot 

So, death flowed with swallowing waves of the flood! 

Sodom and Gomorra they fell from grace 

But the gods, they had to see for themselves 

Mankind was spreading demanding more space 

Claiming the throne and its wealth 

The gods had to prove, who was right, who was not 

Who followed the laws that they gave 

Only one called "Lot" at the unholy spot 

They saved him and his children from grave 

Firewind blew, that unleashed the storm 

Atomic explosions that raged 

No more warning, no arousing alarm 

Their power set an end to this age 

A few good souls were sent by the gods 

They tried to save mankind from fall 

But the "M.en I.n B.lack" were hatching a plot 

Defiance and malice's their call 

Grinding the earth, turning good into bad 

They raged like a maniac beast 

Exploiting the being, the evil did spread 

Souls made for hellfire's feast 

Hellbound, poisoned souls, in pain they'll burn, no return 

Mankind will never learn, their blinded pride, the evil side 

The firestorm will rage on the day of the falling 

Armageddon's near it's the end of the genesis 

Dying by the flood, no way back, no recalling 

The malice and the pride is the death and the fall of man 

The firestorm will rage on the day of the falling 

Armageddon's near it's the end of the genesis 

Dying by the flood, no way back, no recalling 

The malice and the pride is the death and the fall of man 

In the 7th month of the year 1999 an ancient god of wrath will return 

bringing fire, water, death and destruction. 

that is the day when man will be judged for all evil he has done 

and he will be commanded into the eternal fire 

only the good and righteous souls will be saved to live in eternal 

peace. 

THIS IS THE WAR OF ARMAGEDDON! 

so it has been written, so it shall be done?
