Where no tree had ever taken root,
The reed couldn''t grow
No building upon this holy land
Where history begins
Watch over the wall,so heavenly
A fragment of time
Step over the edge , so strong and old
The sea left the ground for mankind
Chorus :
And the heart of humanity still pounding below
Where the first of the ancients where losing there souls
And the essence of sanity is born on this ground
Where the axis of evil and pain can be found
Two rivers to feed humanity
And there you were born
They settle to find a place of peace
A home they creat
Humanity spreads like plant and herb
To kindle the flame
Watch over this land,so heavenly
The gods left their mark for all times
Chorus
( sumerian bard song ) :
and your castle burns to the ground - your people slain
your tears are no longer your own
fading with the wind - you´re going down
silence came into your home
nobody cries for you ( for You )
the land that you ruled keeps it´s breath
your city laid to ruins - the crown is now wandering
your tears are no longer your own
a heart has been betrayed - for you
now after all , can you live ?
( american leader ) :
the root of all pain and terror must fall
axis of all evil
by order of god we came into this land
we will bring them peace again
our world isn´t safe when a madman can rule
we will bring you freedom
by order of god , by our hand he will die
death is saving life
to heaven we´ll return ! we give our lifes
an eye for an eye , saving life
another chapter of hate - of good and evil
this land is drowning in pain
when will it end ?
the battle is raging on , 10000 years now
and ningal is crying again - bleeding for you
