In the beginning, was only nothing

The great one Apsu and Tiamat

Tiamat, spirit of salt water

And of the chaos

She was a Dragon

With feathered wings and hardened scales

A lions head, and body so strong

EA, one of their children

Foresee the future, the plans against him

EA, killed Apsu

And Tiamat was furious

Marduck, most powerful

Prepare for battle

Marduck, save EA

And become the Gods Lord

Dragon Tiamat

And all her monsters

They did face off

The battle began

Tiamat dodged

Marducks net

And opened wide

To swallow him up

He sent out a giant wind

Into the Dragons mouth

Tiamats jaws

Blew apart

Marduck fired an arrow

Straight into her heart

The fleeing monster hoard

Was gathered up

And quickly put into chains

Tiamats body

Was split in two halves

One half formed the heavens

The other formed the earth

From the blood

Of one of the monsters

Marduck made the human race

Put on earth to serve the Gods

And so the world was formed
