|
In the first age of man |
|
Called the Golden Age |
|
Age of happiness |
|
Age of innocence |
|
And with no seasons |
|
Was always Spring |
|
Here flowers blossomed |
|
Rivers flowed free |
|
Milk and wine |
|
Majestic forests |
|
And the air with warmth to sing |
|
And then the Silver Age began |
|
Four seasons here |
|
Winter, Summer, Autumn appeared |
|
And then the Iron Age was struck |
|
Bringing horror |
|
Crime and greed destroyed all nature |
|
Robbing Earth of its natural sources |
|
Leaving Earth stained red with blood |
|
Love was gone |
|
One by one the Gods abandoned hope for the Earth |
|
Leaving only Astraea to pine for its worth |
|
Jupiter demanded she be taken afar |
|
To find a new peace of mind in the stars |
|
Filled with rage, Gods were summoned |
|
To a meeting |
|
At the palace of heaven |
|
Along the road of the Milky Way |
|
Jupiter demanded that they flood all of the Earth |
|
Destroying its birth |
|
He told the North Wind not to scatter the clouds |
|
The South Wind was sent out to blow them together |
|
As they met with mighty crashes |
|
Torrents fell upon the Earth |
|
Then inspired by guidance |
|
They cast behind them the bones of their mother |
|
Their Mother Earth who is parent of us all |
|
As they struck the ground they found new form |
|
Flesh from moisture, the rest to bones |
|
Once more to reshape us all |
|
And then a new race began |
|
Wich owed its very existence |
|
From heroes who made man. |
