King of Gods (2024) Aeon Gods 🇩🇪 Germany

[Verse 1]
After the glorious battle
Where Marduk destroyed Tiamat
He split her body into several parts
And created Earth and Heaven
Next came celestial bodies
The sun and the moon and the stars
All he designed in an everlasting circle of the year

[Pre-Chorus]
All the gods were stunned
By his splendid majesty
And so they started praising

[Chorus]
Hail, hail, king of gods
Marduk the creator
Hail, hail, king of gods
No one will bе greater
Hail, hail, king of gods
Reinforcе and guide us
Hail, hail, king of gods
Praise the new and holy king

[Verse 2]
"Bring me this devilish traitor
Qingu will pay for his deeds
Out of his blood we'll create the first men
To impose on them our burden"
After creation of mankind
Marduk took rest from his work
He settled down in his "Esagil" in holy Babylon
[Pre-Chorus]
All the gods were stunned
By his splendid majesty
And so they started praising

[Chorus]
Hail, hail, king of gods
Marduk the creator
Hail, hail, king of gods
No one will be greater
Hail, hail, king of gods
Reinforce and guide us
Hail, hail, king of gods
Praise the new and holy king

[Bridge]
These were the tales
These were the tales of Marduk's rise
And how he built his great kingdom
Spread all the tales
Spread all the tales into the world
Spread all the tales until the end of time

[Chorus]
Hail, hail, king of gods
Marduk the creator
Hail, hail, king of gods
No one will be greater
Hail, hail, king of gods
Reinforce and guide us
Hail, hail, king of gods
Praise the new and holy king

In a time without a name, long before mankind
There happened a great battle of the gods
Marduk and his followers they were well prepared
To fight against the army of Tiamat

AEON GODS

Marduk ruled the elements - weapons of a god
His seven winds created a great storm
He assembled all his troops - ready to attack
And marched against the evil Tiamat

When she saw it coming - an army of the gods
She cursed her crawling counsellors in anger

When the battle troops unite
At early morning light
We raise our golden banners
And stand up for the fight
See the lightning in the sky
Hear the thunder of the storm
Cause we fight as AEON GODS

The campaign went back and forth - no one could prevail
So, the final fight was imminent
Marduk blew the Evil Wind straight against Tiamat
And killed her with an arrow through her heart

The enemies surrendered and begged to save their lives
The victory of Marduk raised his glory

[Verse 1]
"My holy powers lost their might
I need to rest for a hundred nights"
So Marduk called for a fair deputy
And Erra offered to assume control

[Verse 2]
"Let me take over all your reign
I will take care of your domain"
The god of war betrayed the king of gods
And turned against the holy Babylon

[Chorus]
Burning, all is burning
Fire and chaos around
Burning, all is burning
Babylon blazed to the ground

[Verse 3]
"Hundreds of years I have lived in peace
Now I am thirsty for blood
I will not spare humankind
And devastate each of their kind"
Ereshkigal tried to calm Erra's rage
But she could not prevent thе god from
[Chorus]
Burning, all is burning
Fire and chaos around
Burning, all is burning
Babylon blazed to the ground

[Bridge]
"Blind with ragе, I killed them all
The good and bad alike
I realize the misery
That caused my raging strike"

[Chorus]
Burning, all was burning
Bright is the future ahead
Burning, all was burning
Babylon rose from the dead

[Verse 1]
Centuries after mankind came to light
Countless man filled the earth
Enlil the high god grew restless at night
And his temper turned into anger

[Verse 2]
The noise of mankind has disrupted my sleep
Why have they grown so large?
Humans are nothing but clamorous sheep
We will end their insane existence

[Chorus]
A solution is close at hand
It is mine to restore our order
I will give you one last command
To annihilate all mankind

[Verse 3]
First, I will hold back the annual rain
And dry out their fertile land
Once all the humans are starving in pain
I will send out a mortal fever

[Chorus]
A solution is close at hand
It is mine to restore our order
I will give you one last command
To annihilate all mankind
[Bridge]
Resistant was the human blood
Towards the relentless deadly plagues
(Enlil, mercy, mercy)
(Enlil, save us all)
Finally, I'll create a flood
To bring back peace for our sake

[Chorus]
A solution is close at hand
It is mine to restore our order
I will give you one last command
To annihilate all mankind

[Verse 1]
Darkness hid the daylight when the flood began
Meant to seal the fate of every man
All the gods were frightened by the awful doom
So they ran for shelter in the Goddess' womb

[Pre-Chorus]
In Nintu's eyes
All sorrow lies
And endless pain

[Chorus]
When the daylight awakened
All my children had died
Washed away by the flood, I am stained by their blood
I can't stop to weep and to cry

[Verse 2]
How could our hearts turn into solid stone?
Now we have to bear the blame all alone
How can I continue when my tears have dried?
Walk around the wasteland where my children died?

[Pre-Chorus]
What have I done?
There is no one
To end this pain
[Chorus]
When the daylight awakened
All my children had died
Washed away by the flood, I am stained by their blood
I can't stop to weep and to cry

[Bridge]
I am bound to their fate
I will carry this weight
In the name of the fallen ones

[Chorus]
When the daylight awakened
All my children had died
Washed away by the flood, I am stained by their blood
I can't stop to weep and to cry

[Outro]
After days of deep mourning
A big ark came in sight
They survived the great flood
And preserved human blood
There is hope
The hope for a new life

[Verse 1]
In the blink of an eye
He sentenced to die
The whole mankind
But I will not support Enlil's command
My loyal servants, be aware

[Chorus]
And so the water's rising higher
All living beings are left behind
The human fate is lost and dire
But I will save the humankind

[Verse 2]
Go and build a great boat
To save all your kin
And all living things
Be prepared for the flood to last seven days
Until you'll reach your future home

[Chorus]
And so the water's rising higher
All living beings are left bеhind
The human fate is lost and dire
But I will savе the humankind
[Bridge]
Enlil, calm down, I have a plan
To limit man's existence
Mortality and deadly disease
Will be humans' fate henceforth

[Outro]
The waters stopped rising higher
All can return into their place
The human fate was lost and dire
But has been saved by Enki's grace
The waters stopped rising higher
Enki has saved the humankind
This is the covenant between the gods and men

[Verse 1]
Once the goddess Ishtar went to the underworld
And entered the dark kingdom of her sister
Ishtar tried to trick her and steal the ruler's throne
But she failed and was enslaved

[Pre-Chorus]
"Pride goes right before the fall
Now you have to face it all
You will not escape my deadly kingdom"

[Chorus]
Take her down, take her down
Take her down to my land of the darkness
Take her down, take her down
Take her down to eternal damnation
Take her down

[Verse 2]
In Ishtar's longer absence fertility decreased
And so the gods gave order to release her
But the law required to send a deputy
So they choose the god Tammuz

[Pre-Chorus]
"Queen and goddess of the dead
Hear my plea, take me instead"
Desperate words of his beloved sister
[Chorus]
Take me down, take me down
Take me down to the land of the darkness
Take me down, take me down
Take me down to eternal damnation
Take me down

[Bridge]
Take him down (No)
Take her down (No)
Take both down to the land of the darkness
Take 'em down (Yeah)
Take 'em down (Yeah)
Take 'em down to eternal damnation

[Chorus]
Take 'em down, take 'em down
Take 'em down to the land of the darkness
Take 'em down, take 'em down
Alternating the time of damnation
Take 'em down

[Outro]
Ooh, yeah

[Intro]
Here are the monsters (Hey)
Here are the monsters (Hey)
Here are the monsters (Hey)
Here are the monsters

[Verse 1]
A war was drawing near
The gods were full of fear
So they created demon monsters
A pair of giant snakes
Sharp teeth is all it takes
Their bodies filled with deadly venom

[Pre-Chorus]
Eleven crеatures, cruel and mercilеss

[Chorus]
Here are the monsters (Monsters)
Of Tiamat
Here are the fighters (Fighters)
For elder blood

[Verse 2]
The Scorpion's deadly sting
The Hydra's mighty wings
The savage dog, a bull and dragons
The gods without remorse
Raised up their battle force
They chose Qingu as commander
[Pre-Chorus]
"Our monster troops will crush the enemies"

[Chorus]
Here are the monsters (Monsters)
Of Tiamat
Here are the fighters (Fighters)
For elder blood
Here are the monsters (Monsters)
Of Tiamat
Here are the fighters (Fighters)
For elder blood

[Bridge]
Here are the monsters (Hey)
Here are the monsters (Hey)
Here are the monsters (Hey)
Here are the monsters

[Chorus]
Here are the monsters (Monsters)
Of Tiamat
Here are the fighters (Fighters)
For elder blood
Here are the monsters (Monsters)
Of Tiamat
Here are the fighters (Fighters)
For elder blood
[Outro]
Here are the fighters (Fighters)
Here are the fighers
For elder blood

[Verse 1]
In times of the dawn the council of gods
Had named the lord of the cosmos
An item was made for Enlil's command
To bring unlimited force

[Verse 2]
Anzu the demon storm-bird was born
With wings and the head of a lion
Engaged to protect the lord of the gods
He snatched the Tablet of Destinies

[Chorus]
By the hands of a betrayer
Enlil lost his sacred gift
Who will be the demon slayer
And return the Tablet of Destinies?

[Verse 3]
Several gods refused to attack
The mighty invinciblе Anzu
So they beseeched thе mother of gods
To bear a powerful hero-god

[Chorus]
By the hands of a betrayer
Enlil lost his sacred gift
Who will be the demon slayer
And return the Tablet of Destinies?
[Bridge]
In wild destructive battle
No one had gained control
But finally, Ninurta
Could kill the Anzu bird

[Chorus]
By the hands of a betrayer
Enlil lost his sacred gift
But Ninurta was the slayer
And returned the Tablet of Destinies
