lyrics

Back at the Palace in the King’s Court
Bathed and Cleaned Prepared for the Night
A Divine Manifestation Disturbs the Air
None but the Goddess The Majestic Ishtar

Proposing Divine Marriage
Him and Her Lords in Heaven
Offering all Wealth and Power
Eternally Side by Side

But to a wise man’s Ears Her words Uttered
His Awareness Of What She’s Done
To Her Past Husbands and Lovers
And the Cruel Destiny They Lay in Now

One by one and Forgetting None
On Her Ears Their Fate Recites
So Gruesome So Horrible
Unimaginable Unthinkable


Demuzi, First Love Rotting
In the Mud of the Netherland

Roller Bird, Majestic in Flight
Broke his wings, Deprived of Flight

The Lion, in Strength compared to non
In a Cage Imprisoned now he Lives

The Stallion, Faster than the Wind
In a Stable he is, a Fate for Mules

The Shepherd, another losse another curse
Into a Wolf, on His Herds He Feed

Ishallanu, Gardner of the Gods
A Scarecrow he is, Stuck in His Field

As for Me…
What Shameful…
Fortune…
You Kept…
AAAAAARGH!!!!!!

Harshly the Words Fell on Ishtar’s Ears
Filled Her with Anger and Rage

The Goddess Ascended to the Heavens
With Revenge in Her Heart to Fulfill

In Her Father’s Presence She Stands
Anu Father of Us All

Weeping in lament, The Insults She heard
A Punishment She Demands

The Bull of Heaven
I command
To Strike Them Down
To Put Them Down

Seven Years
Of Famine thry get
Or I Let the Dead
Walk Up the Earth


Down it Came
Racing for the Kill
Destroying All
Killing All

The Heroes confront
Enkiu Slows it Down
Gilgamesh Slices it Up
A Dagger in the Neck

Off its Heart they Pulled
To Shamash they present
Ishtar from Above
She Wailed
Oh She Wailed

Enkidu
In Rage He Would
Threatens Her
In Death He Did

A Parade
merriment
For All Men
All the Night

Enkidu
Goes to Sleep
And have a Dream
His Fate Would See
His End will Be
