Lyrics
There are four ages of the world.
The first age was the Golden Age.
At that time virtue prevailed and man lived solely on the fruits of the earth.
It was in the later ages that virtue and life-span decreased and disease and heresy developed.
- Mahabharata
The first mortal was instructed by Ahura Mazda to build an underground home for all living creatues.
There was there "neither overbearing nor mean-spiritedness, neither stupidity nor violence, neither poverty nor deceit, neither puniness nor deformity, neither huge teeth nor bodies beyond the usual measure. The inhabitants suffered no defilement from the evil spirit. They dwelt among the odoriferous trees and golden pillars; these were the largest, best and most beautiful on earth; they were themselves a tall and beautiful race."
- Persian Avesta
Five races of man have lived on this earth.
The first was the golden race.
"The immortal gods, that tread the courts of heaven ,
First made a golden race of men.
Like gods they lived, with happy, careless souls,
From toil and pain exempt; nor on them crept
Wretched old age, but all their life was passed
In feasting, and their limbs no changes knew."
- Hesiod (Greece)
In Dilmun the raven does not croak,
The kite does not utter its shrill cry,
The lion does not kill,
The wolf snatches not the lamb,
Unknown is the kid-devouring wild dog.
The dove droops not its head,
The sick-eyed says not I am sick-eyed,
The sick-headed says not I am sick-headed,
Its old woman says not I am an old woman,
Its old man says not I am an old man.
- Mesopotamian myth
