Behold the watchtowers

In front of Aratta Uruk pitched camp

From the walls javelins were raining down as from a cloud

One year the siege lasts ferocity turned to bitterness

Enmerkar sends a messenger to Uruk

Lugalbanda requests Inanna's advice

Between the dunes the horizon will fall down

He's running under stars at night

Through the mountains the message finds its way

Inanna is near within one day

Back in Uruk he paces the way of his dreams

Inanna I feel you and your presence in my veins

Your instructions will surrender the city to us

Conquered with blood

Only a ritual

Of ancient wizardry

Can overcome Aratta

Uruk will prevail

In the siege of

Aratta

Between the dunes the horizon will fall down

He's running under the stars at night

Through the mountains the message finds its way

Inanna is near within one day
