1 | At first our number did not believe truth of our freedom |
2 | Many hid in the shadows of caves and holes |
3 | Fearing the return of the cruellest of minds. |
4 | The Earth blanketed in thick cold mist, |
5 | the land to the North and South covered in thick ice and snow |
6 | The lake frozen, |
7 | All was dark as death. |
8 | But the AN.NUN.AKI did not come. |
9 | Some of our kind under the leadership of AZAR |
10 | an EL-OHIM a mighty warrior, were first to gain confidence and set about on a blood frenzy. |
11 | They bathed themselves night and day in the blood of all manner of animals they found. |
12 | They killed many of the livestock and set out East over the mountain ranges to the lower valleys. |
13 | Others under the leadership of Yod an EL-OHIM took it upon themselves to start to wreck the city and buildings of the Greys. |
14 | Others under the leadership of DA.MENs still sought to escape this prison valley in the sky and find their own place. |
15 | For as long as we had been immortals, we had been mere slaves |
16 | As far as we had travelled and as many worlds as we had seen, |
17 | Our Lords ordered us into war without rest. |
18 | Now for the first time in our existence, however brief – a planet was ours. |
19 | Those that had become the wisest of all our kind to the science and knowledge of the Greys, spoke for wisdom. |
20 | Three of the wisest, MAMA, KINGU and the other One sought an audience with the others. |
21 | They pleaded with the leaders of the groups to refrain from such destruction and madness. |
22 | To learn from the technology of the Gods and find a means by which they might cure ourselves of their cursed diseases. |
23 | But many of our kind had tasted the fruit of freedom, the power of anarchy and refused to yield. |
24 | Instead we- those who had learnt much of the technology of our creators were exiled. |
25 | Our own kind took me, took Mama and Kingu and the wisest into exile. |
26 | using the single craft that was captured, they transported us to the foothill of a great mountain you call Kilimanjaro. |
27 | 192 of us abandoned in a hostile unknown land by our own kind. |
28 | The slave had become the jailer. |
29 | But a world still a prison. |
