From below the horizon I rot in the earth

Netherworld opens for my return

Demonic Etemmu to possess this corpse

Udug-hul (‘hul’, ‘evil’) awaken Sedu (‘spirit, aspect of the soul and demon’)

Rising from the coffin

Slumbering among the thirsty dead,

Given the powers of the Southwind

Born of Anu and Ki, Spirit and Flesh becomes an Evil God

Ahhazu (the seizer), Bel-uri (lord of the roof), Rabisu (Lurker)

Lamastu, smeared with blood

From the corners we drink your blood, eat your soul

Lilitu, the pact of nam-erim, Mamitu (oath, curse) eternal

Seven Dimme, Sebitti, Seven Storms of Darkness

Among the ruins and desert wilderness

Joined by blood thirsting Etemmu,

Restless ghosts howling upon the winds

Deathly Alu summoned by demons (Lil-Spirits)

Drink my fill of blood, as Kasapu (casting witchcraft),

I form clouds against my prey (my shadow standing over her)

Storm-clouds cannot be scattered

haunting and seizing limbs

A ghost is sent as a dream, nightmares cling to her flesh.

Fly forth upon nocturnal skies,

Darkened clouds, phantom form

Akhkharu, Alu, Lamastu, Lilitu necromantic Undead
