Der Song stammt von SODOM´s Jubiläumsalbum „40 Years At War – The Greatest Hell Of Sodom“, das am 28. Oktober erscheint, und stand ursprünglich auf der „Obsessed By Cruelty“ Scheibe (1986). Zuvor hatte die Band bereits den neuen Track `1982´ enthüllt.

Die Band verbindet den Song mit einer Widmung:

„We dedicate this lyric video to our recently deceased friend and former guitarist Uwe Christoffers. With this fantastic song he wrote for Sodom back in 1985, he stays alive for all eternity. We will forever hold him in our restless and blackened hearts!“

Lyrics:

Take my soul to god!

It was a time when tyrants ruled the earth

Mankind’s malice showed no remorse

His self-created empire troubled him highty

All pursuit of honor was so mighty

A father of three sons, called Noah, appeared

Inspired by god and religious

Rescued from all that wanted flesh

Flying with sons, women and beasts

 

Noah realized all to the protector’s command

Alive on the ground

Forty days and forty nights

It shall be rain in the land of promise

On seventh day gates get open

Waters covered great mountains

All what a living Odem possessed

Died exterminated

 

Well of deep get clog, rain sink away

The waters decrease

He opens the windows of his wooden ark

As the ground dry up he leaves the dark

With all the living creatures

Increased by himself, fulfilled the earth

With fear and terror turned away

 

I will never more cursed the earth

For mankind’s will

Their thoughts are evil in their youth

All I’ve done I repent

So long as the earth lived

Shouldn’t stop sowing and crop

Frost and heat

Summer and winter

Day and night

Who spilled human blood?

That blood gets spilled by human being

And Noah realized it all

To the protector’s command
