Lugalbanda Lyrics


King in first dynasty

Consort of Ninsun

Shepherd of the plains

Of transcendent ancestry

Resurrected from the dead

Reborn as Utu's herald

He shall rule a thousand years

In Sumer and Akkad

We bow to thee

We bow to thee

To the offspring of the sun

In times of peace and war

His words of wisdom never failed

To please the gods who rule the earth eternally

The strength

The might

Empowered by Anzu

Grant him the favour of mankind

The strength

The might

The will

To fight

Through empowerment of Anzu

The strength

The might

Heroes will rise and fall

The will

To fight

Will always be reborn

The circle must go on

Heroes will be born

In darkened times

They spread the light

And so will his son

Gilgamesh

And so will his son

Gilgamesh
