2nd ACT - INTERLUDE

God hovers in the middle of the dark stage, he summarizes, what happened, since Eve and Adam have been expelled from paradise. During the song we see humans evolve over time, in the stone age, bronze age, iron age, and finally we are in Ceasar´s palace, where Eve and Adam appear: they have been reincarnated as Cleopatra and Ceasar.

Thousands of years have passed by,
for me just a blink of an eye,
in the meantime the humans invented new gods,
and nobody minds, that these bums are frauds ...

I kept the souls of Adam and Eve,
send them back from time to time,
to give them a chance to develop and learn,
to choose the good deeds over crime.

So let us start .. civilization !
watch Adam and Eve encounter reincarnation.

Before this story unfolds, a history lesson is due,
and remember, whoever you are, you carry Adam or Eve within you ..

Men became tired of travelling around,
they stayed in one place, settled down,
built tents and huts and houses from wood,
a large number of those they called "town".

Domesticate animals, what a clever idea,
makes hunting for meat obsolete,
and if you like vegetables, fruit and bread,
plant fields and cultivate wheat.

This is the start of civilization !
the rise of mankind, what a sensation !

The bronze age began, accidently I guess,
by mixing some copper with tin,
to build new weapons with great finesse,
start a war with the neighbours ... and win.

After this came the iron age - the massacre increased,
but still more new-borns than deceased.
Oh yes, I told them to be fruitful and to multiply,
I should have mentioned: there is limited supply.

How nice how great - civilization !
and every tribe founded their own nation ...

And here we are, a few centuries later,
in a big city, in ancient times,
Adam is Ceasar, dictator of Rome,
Eve is Cleo, and Egypt is her home.

Cleopatra and Cesar are husband and wife,
for political reasons, I guess,
Caesar suspects, his wife cheats on him,
and Cleo will soon have to confess,

That´s what they call civilization !
a blend of public and personal relation ..
but sometimes love ends in frustration,
Yes, it´s a rocky road to salvation ...
