There was an age of peace
Man thrived in prosperity
Living long
Old age unknown
In paradise, his home
Rue the day that they accepted heaven's flame

Fire was thieved
The golden age will be grieved
On your knees
Olympus will have it’s vengeance

Now man will know of pain
Now man will know of death
Once fortune was endless
Now we beg for forgiveness
(Have mercy on us)
Is it enough?

A cruel conspiracy devised
Divine retribution
Pure malice concealed within desire

Woe unleashed
Sadness and poverty
Fear hand in hand with disease
Misery descends on dark wings and breeds
The end although it seems near
Hope appears

Forgive me
I failed
I had to look
I couldn’t stand it
Created, exploited
What have I released?

Now man will know of pain
Now man will know of death
Once fortune was endless
Now we beg for forgiveness
(Have mercy on us)
Is it enough?
Enter temptation
She’s born to torment him
(Now he will know lust)
Is it enough?
(Enough)

Now man will know of pain
Now man will know of death
Never enough our greed’s to blame
Paradise lost amongst the flames
