Brick by brick

The soil touches the sky

Total submission

To the whip of Eridu

Doomed to suffer anguish

In pain and torment

Dead from inside

Join the slaves of Eridu

Oppressed and battered we dwell in feculence

In filth and mud we're cursed to live with worms and rats

One by one, they died from famine and disease

No hope in the land of arbitrariness

Forced to die in wars which aren't ours

Exploitation is the plague that makes our deathwish come

Strangle me with my chains I can't bear this life

Humiliation is the the misery I have become

Brick by brick

The soil touches the sky

Total submission

To the whip of Eridu

Doomed to suffer anguish

In pain and torment

Dead from inside

Join the slaves of Eridu

Deathwish inside

Join the slaves of Eridu

Through the veil violence and grief

I realize the gods have forsaken me

Buried alive in the ziggurat of Enmerkar

My inglorious fate is death in slavery

Brick by brick

The soil touches the sky

Total submission

To the whip of Eridu

Doomed to suffer anguish

In pain and torment

Dead from inside

Join the slaves of Eridu
