The question that is on man's mind since the beginning of time is 
"Where do we come from, where do we go?" 
Well, let me tell you a story which took place a long, long time ago. 
450 000 years before our time, when the atmosphere on "Nibiru" 
the 12th planet was getting worse and worse and when "Alalu" the 
sovereign of the "Annunaki-race" was dethroned and dislodged by 
his opponent "Anu". 
"Alalu" had to flee in his "Vimana" to save his life and he came down 
to Earth and found something the "Annunaki" could use to filter the 
solar radiation to save their atmosphere from destruction.: 


"GOLD"!! 


And "Alalu" revealed his discovery to "Anu" and as reward for it 
he could return to his own planet. 


AND THEN IT ALL BEGAN!! 


A reef of gold was the right offering 
For soothing with a gift of right size 
He handed it over to Anu the King 
Alalu's return had its price 
Enki the scientist the son of Anu 
Came down and dug for gold 
Building a haven called Eridu 
He mastered his task truely bold 


No more gold, the volume decreased 
The heir to the throne came down 
Enlil brought Edin to seize 
Ripping the gold of the ground 
Annunaki men dug really hard 
They worked their hands to the bone 
A serious revolt for setting a mark 
Cause the rage and discontent had grown 


Hellbound, poisoned souls, in pain they'll burn, no return 
Mankind will never learn, their blinded pride, the evil side 


The firestorm will rage on the day of the falling 
Armaggeddon's near it's the end of the genesis 
Dying by the flood, no way back, no recalling 
The malice and the pride is the death and the fall of man 


A daring test in the hour of need 
An artificial bio-robot 
Annunaki-essence for an exogamy 
A fertilized ovum they had 
An Annunaki woman was the one who gave birth 
Adapa received his science 
But Adapa was banned, he wasn't it worth 
Cause of malice and evil defiance 


Hellbound, poisoned souls, in pain they'll burn, no return 
Mankind will never learn, their blinded pride, the evil side 


The firestorm will rage on the day of the falling 
Armaggeddon's near it's the end of the genesis 
Dying by the flood, no way back, no recalling 
The malice and the pride is the death and the fall of man 


The gods created animals and plants 
Adapa's daughters they took their chance 
They got married to Annunaki men 
Enlil got furious from this wicked sin 
He knew a huge tidal wave would come 
His command, no warning to none 
He wanted to wipe out man from this place 
He wanted to stop this conceited and evil race 


As the conspirator Enki took part 
Noah was charged to build up the arche 
The water came deluding the spot 
So, death flowed with the swallowing waves of the flood!! 


Sodom and Gomorrah they fell from grace 
But the gods, they had to see for themselves 
Mankind was spreading demanding more space 
Claiming the throne and its wealth 


The gods had to prove, who was right, who was not 
Who followed the laws that they gave 
Only one called "Lot" at the unholy spot 
They saved him and his children from grave 


Firewind blew, that unleashed the storm 
Atomic explosions that raged 
No more warning, no arousing alarm 
Their power set an end to this age 


A few good souls were sent by the gods 
They tried to save mankind from fall 
But the "M.en I.n B.lack" were hatching a plot 
Defiance and malice's their call 
Grinding the earth, turning good into bad 
They raged like a maniac beast 
Exploiting the being, the evil did spread 
Souls made for hellfire's feast 


Hellbound, poisoned souls, in pain they'll burn, no return 
Mankind will never learn, their blinded pride, the evil side 


The firestorm will rage on the day of the falling 
Armaggeddon's near it's the end of the genesis 
Dying by the flood, no way back, no recalling 
The malice and the pride is the death and the fall of man 


The firestorm will rage on the day of the falling 
Armaggeddon's near it's the end of the genesis 
Dying by the flood, no way back, no recalling 
The malice and the pride is the death and the fall of man 


In the 7th month of the year 1999 an ancient god of wrath will return 
bringing fire, water, death and destruction. 
That is the day when man will be judged for all evil he has done 
and he will be commanded into the eternal fire. 
Only the good and righteous souls will be saved to live in eternal peace. 


THIS IS THE WAR OF ARMAGGEDDON! 


So it has been written, so it shall be done?????
