| 1 | Night into night, |
| 2 | Day into day, |
| 3 | Year into year. |
| 4 | Night into Night. |
| 5 | No soul is so pitiful than that of an immortal |
| 6 | Who treats daydreams with contempt |
| 7 | And dare not utter a word concerning their own death. |
| 8 | A sleep then. |
| 9 | A deep and dark sleep. |
| 10 | But for one thing, a numbing consciouness. |
| 11 | A fading memory of you, through your ancestors. |
| 12 | Our greatest creation, the ADAMU. |
| 13 | Fleeting glimpses, we did catch |
| 14 | Of our children who share our blood. |
| 15 | Not dead but alive. |
| 16 | A species with skin as thin, even the slightest hit by us used to tear from them a limb. |
| 17 | A body so contorted to our designs, they would choke on their own food. |
| 18 | An yet in our mind's eye we could see but a handful. |
| 19 | Saved by the HU.MEN |
| 20 | Naked in fear, the HU.MEN gathered the ADAMU into caves, |
| 21 | The HU.MEN gathered food and created fire for warmth, |
| 22 | Giving even the fur of beasts to protect the ADAMU from cold. |
| 23 | We watched from our cursed death, |
| 24 | Upon such compassion from these giants |
| 25 | And our hate grew even more. |
| 26 | Cursed to death as immortals. |
