Volatile Waters Lyrics

The whip of Anunnaki
The uprising of younger Gods
The Ancient step aside to canvass

Earth, clay and flesh formed statues
Invocation of the intelligent god
Spit of the Eternal, the gift of life
A womb opens, god made slaves arise

Overpopulation
Plague rules the lands
Again the gods they canvass

Famine and drought, the solution of Enlil
A secret between the divine
Waters and storms are summoned
To wipe the slate clean once and for all

Volatile waters
Infectious tides
Bringers of harm
Symbols of closure

As the hero of Shuruppak is warned
In the times before the flood
The oceans open up at the close
A harbinger of life appears in the vortex

The drowning
The drowning of all that lives
Fertile soil destroyed by deluge
As mankind ceases to exist

Atra-Hasis
The final beacon of hope
Population controlled
The circle is once again complete

Volatile waters
Walls of immediate ruin
Infectious tides
The definite surge

The oath is broken
A vessel of life did survive

Shards of men
Victory of Atra-Hasis
The wrath of Enlil
The denial of Enki as he argues:

"I made sure life was preserved."
