Kross

 

music Enuma Elish

Oh you,

The boldest of the nations

Fired

By daring so much pride

 

By lust

Of fame so inspired

Sons of this World

Whose eyes have profaned

 

Through my

Waves you’ll advance

You have viewed

The secrets of my awful reign

 

Hear now

My lips will profess

Your race

Must shall descend

 

I’ve been

God’s unwanted Son

The lyrics is taken from the Adamastor’s poem of the portuguese XVIth century epic ‘Os Lusíadas’, written by poet Luis de Camões. There’s a thematic transposition from XVIth century to XXth century. Adamastor is symbolically converted into the Evil that inflicted the world in the last 100 years. Portuguese people and their Discoveries turn out to be all living species which suffered from holocausts, epidemics, natural catastrophies, etc
