The Sleep Of Ishtar - Adramelech

Binded into darkness, the light of night dark

Thousand wounds bleeding to the sea below seas

Beyond the gates, dead immortals sleep

Scattered dreamless slumber;

stalked, torn and slain

Without her powers, powers of upper worlds;

Victim of dead stare of the faceless gods

Beyond the gates

The queen of heaven

Slain by sixty

Torn by seven

Her sisters death

Ereshkigal rejoicing

The queen of graves

In the house of dead

Ceasing procreation

As the mortals feel the gods fear…

As the doors of Ganzir

Close behind the morning star
