Baleful liturgies

İnside the dungeons

Of its foes

Sumer is bewitched accursed by the besieged

They send out blackened shadows

Famine spreads out like a plague

Ceremony of sacrifice

Spiritual war

Held in a temple

Built from ancient crafts

Human torches guide the way for the evocation

They summon demons

From far beyond the stars

A wise woman stood up against the hunger spell

Her white magic is based upon the preservation of life

And so she sings

Time has come

Tides stand still

Blackness begone

Inanna has formed her will

Ceremony of sacrifice

Spiritual war

Held in a temple

Built from ancient crafts

Human torches guide the way for the evocation

They summon demons

From far beyond the stars

The gods have spoken

A magic contest shall decide on the matter of Aratta

The wise woman confirmed her statutory verdict on the sorcerer

Your sin is a capital offense I cannot grant you life

She threw down her victim on the bank of the Euphrates

He forfeits his vital force thus life is restored

To Sumer

Aratta admits his defeat

To Sumer

Aratta admits his defeat

To Sumer
