lyrics

Abuser of Men … Valor in Strength
Abuser of Maidens … Right of Kings
Plead of Mothers … Gods would hear

Gods will Create … A Wild Man That Feeds
And Runs with the Beasts … A Rival he Would Be
The Name He’ll Obtain … Enkidu Shall it Be

Demolisher of Hunters’ Traps
Terror Fills Their Hearts
Gilgamesh Consult
“A Harlot That Tames the Wildest of Men”

Naked She Stood
Her Charmes she Offered
Six Days Seven Nights
In Her Delights Enkidu Indulged

But no More the Beasts … By His Side Ran
More Human He Turned … Less an Animal He is
The Pleasures He Learnd … Reasoning He Gained

Tales of Majestic … City and its King
Abuser of the People … By that Ruling Man
A Challenge that Will … Lure Him More and More

As she Tempts Him Out
Into a Hut they Stay
She Grooms Him, Prepares Him
For Man Now He is

Enkidu ate bread
The Staff of Life
Beer he drank
The Custom of the Land

Behind the footsteps (of the harlot)
Passing the gates of Uruk
Crowded the people astounded
A true rival has arrived
As celebrations were underway
and sacrifices are made
Ceremonies and prays
the fertility ritual was to begin

Face to face their sights met
eye to eye … An Evil Ignites
Enkidu, the way of Gilgamesh he blocks
In Frenzy the Fight Has Begun

As Mighty Men They Griped
Shoulder to Shoulder the Temple Way
Under Their Valor it Shook
But Gilgamesh Who Went for the Pin

His Foot on the Ground Declairs His Win
Yet, Hate is no More, But Admiration
“Exalted You Above All Of Men
Enlil Has Granted you Kingship Over His People”
