Gidim Hul (Bloodthirst of the Demonic Dead) Lyrics


Etemmu neglected in funerary rites,

The ghosts rise from their graves

A blood meal to take souls for eternal life

Haunting between the world of living and dead

Anzagar, by nightmares!

Ahhazu, seizing demon before me!

Hajjatu-demons, we drink the blood

Shulak, Lilitu, Rabisu!

Gidim-hul, blood thirst of the dead

Rabisu, hear me!

Mimma Lemnu hear me!

Sedu hear me!

Utukku by Crossroads

The grave transformed this ghost,

growing thirsty for living blood

Feed and prey upon mankind, drink their souls!

Arali did not contain me, I rise from the tomb.

Dust and darkness are my way, the winds of raven’s flight

Some have forgotten, hunger strikes and my spirit twists

Etemmu thirst for blood, become as Udug-hul

Gidim-hul, haunt and torment,

Drink the soul dry,

Blood be spilt, may the dead lap up the blood

Gidim-hul, blood thirst of the dead

Rabisu, hear me!

Mimma Lemnu hear me!

Sedu hear me!

Utukku by Crossroads

Pestilence and Plague powers of Namtar

Nergal Lord of the Underworld

We are of the Netherworld

Inflict the living with disease

Striking the mortal flesh with blood-shadows
