She is fierce, violent, Lamastu of divine power

Terrifying is the Daughter of Anu

Lamastu is a she-wolf, claws are the Anzu

Her hands are decay, face of a raging lion

Bring me your sons, I will nurse them poisoned,

Rotten pestilence, black blood

Bring me your daughters for I am thirsty

In the mouth of the young I shall place my breast

She who Strangles the Lamb

She comes forth from the marshes

Her hair hanging loose, and clothes stripped off

Lamastu’s hands, caked in flesh and blood

She enters the window, Lamastu!

Slithering over the door casing like a snake

Long claws, seize the infant seven times

She enters and leaves the house in the night

Lamastu, cast from the Heavens, crowned as a goddess

Prey upon this living world,

Drink and feed from the flesh of the living

Scourge of Lamastu

Kamadme, Spirit of Sumerian ruins

Vampyric Goddess whose powers are many

Lamastu, Labasu, Ahhazu, Seven times seven shadows

Bibitum (a demon of chills) on northern winds you travel

Saggastu!

Female murderer, the roaming ghost, demoness!

Vampyre who haunts the Steppe

Hand of the Ghost of a Murderer (Qat Saggasi)!

Samana, Jaws of a Lion

Teeth of an Usumgal

Claws of an Eagle

Blood-dripping mouth of Ninisina
