Juda's Cradle - Those Who From Heaven Came

Down from the heavens, where the starry rivers bright The Anunnaki descended in the chariots of light They walked upon the marshes, they stood upon the mud They drew the sacred geometry before the ancient flood They looked upon the Sag-Giga, the black-headed race They gave us the dominion, they showed us our place Enlil decreed the destiny, Enki shaped the bone We build the holy sanctuaries beneath the golden throne! Look to the stars above! Bow to the sky! The masters of the universe will never die! Under the gaze of those who from heaven came! We carry out the labor, we call them by name! Born from the dust of Shumer, serving the divine Drinking from the rivers of the ancient holy line! They watch from high above, they measure all the space The architects of time, the creators of the race! The gods have spoken! They gave the king the scepter, they gave the priest the sign To separate the human flesh right from the blood divine We dig the sacred trenches under their command The blueprint of the cosmos is written in the sand No longer blind and drifting like beasts inside the night The wisdom of the shining ones has given us the light They claim the highest temples, the Ziggurat of stone And Shumer is the footstool beneath their golden throne! Under the gaze of those who from heaven came! We carry out the labor, we call them by name! Born from the dust of Shumer, serving the divine Drinking from the rivers of the ancient holy line! They watch from high above, they measure all the space The architects of time, the creators of the race! The gods have spoken! Are we the children of the stars, or workers of the soil? Created by the sky-gods to suffer and to toil? The clay remembers heaven, the clay remembers clay But under their dominion... The black-heads find their way! Under the gaze of those who from heaven came! We carry out the labor, we call them by name! Born from the dust of Shumer, serving the divine Drinking from the rivers of the ancient holy line! They watch from high above, they measure all the space The architects of time, the creators of the race! The gods have spoken!
