I will proclaim to the world the deeds of Gilgamesh

This was the mean to whom all things were known;

this was the king who knew the countries of the world.

He was wise, he saw mysteries and knew secret things,

He brought us a tale of the days before the flood

Great King of Uruk

The one who found Humbaba

A search for immortality, fruitless, futile

A wander into the eternal forests

In the land between the great rivers

A flood cometh down to clean the slate

Make a wash replescent

All beings be rescued, and all fiends cast down

Gilgamesh, the last great King of Uruk

The one who tamed the feral beasts of earth

In the land between the great rivers

Shed your tears, for you are as mortal as any of us
