Enmerkar Lyrics


When in ancient days heaven was separated

From earth

Enlil gave me crown and scepter

I am a manifest of his hallowed will

You who dare to challenge me

Know Inanna's favour resides in Uruk

Aratta must be razed to the ground

This insurrection will spill blood I will transform

Your life to another pillar of dust

Hordes will rape your women

Pillage brings calamity

Execute the children

And no one witnesses the tragedy

You will be bleeding

Until there's nothing more to wipe out

Inanna

Your intent my domination

Devotion brings victory

I declare war

Nergal himself will crush the gates of outrage

Warfare divine with fire and blade

This disobedience is a hostile act of rebellion

His incarnation is slaughter and death

King of no one in the city of liars

Your arrogance will end this war with carnage

Son of Utu leads the campaign

Towards Aratta we march

Hordes will rape your women

Pillage brings calamity

Execute the children

And no one witnesses the tragedy

You will be bleeding

Until there's nothing more to wipe out

Inanna

Your intent my domination

Devotion brings victory

I declare war
