The Invocation of Marduk Lyrics


From the Gate of Fire

Across the Outer Wall

When the Four-Eyed God whispers

Enuma elish la nabu shamu

Come forth ye Guardians

My journey will lead to the Stars

I was sprung where the Sun don’t rise

Nerakkal ina im-ni-ia (Nergal is at my right hand)

I shall not fear the Depths

Suen ina ar-ki-ia (Sin is behind me)

Cast to live where the Sun don’t reach

Ninurta ina su-me-li-ia (Ninurta is at my left hand)

I will face the Storm alone

Shamshu ina pa ni-ia (Shamash is before me)

Where the Heavens had not been named

Enuma elish la nabu shamu

Oh Mighty God with 50 Names

Slayer of Tiamat, Master of Esharra

I beheld the Tablet of Destiny

Thee I invoke, Ilu Qurdu
