Seven Udug-Hul Lyrics


Spawned of Heaven and Earth, rise from the Netherworld

Seven malefic stars, blazing across the skies

Anu and Ki, rebel-gods, demons free to haunt cosmos

Melammu (divine radiance) is lofty of the Seven

Billowing clouds causing gloom in Heaven

Blast of rising winds, darkness across the sky

Seven gods of the broad heavens

Seven gods of the Netherworld

Udug-hul, Ala-hul, Gidim-hul, Galla-hul,

Dimme, Dima, Dimme-Lagab demons

Evil gods whirling as chaos-storms,

Enter homes to murder

Seven demons, forms change

Continual nightmare phantoms

Enter the house, shadows in the corner

Spirits thirsting for blood

Evil God, Demon of the Steppe,

Utukku of the Mountain,

Udug-hul, Ala-hul, Gidim-hul, Galla-hul,

Dimme, Dima, Dimme-Lagab demons

Demons of the Sea, Udug of the Tomb

A Goring-Ox, Ghost raging against life

Eating flesh, spilling blood

Drinking blood from veins

Gallu-demons filled with malevolence,

Never cease consuming blood

Ala great demon of perversion, night-haunting to possess prey

Destroy bodies from the inside, Legion!

Udug-hul, Ala-hul, Gidim-hul, Galla-hul,

Dimme, Dima, Dimme-Lagab demons

Udug-hul slips over the threshold

Devouring, destroying, kill the father, kill the son

Evil Udug spares no one

Etemmu and Utukku ride on winds of evil spells
