THE CIRCLE OF LIFE IS THE CIRCLE OF DEATH
FROM TORMENT OF LIFE TO DEATH
FROM TORMENT OF DEATH TO DAMNATION
ALWAYS FEAR THE DAY OF YOUR DEATH

AS YOUR DAYS ARE FILLED WITH SORROW AND PAIN
IN YOUR DEATH YOU SHALL BE CAST TO THE VOID
WHERE THERE IS NO JOY, ONLY ASH TO EAT
WHERE THERE IS NO LIGHT, ONLY ETERNAL DECAY

THERE IS NO ESCAPE FROM THE WRATH OF THE GODS
YOUR FUTURE WAS SET IN STONE IN ANCIENT TIMES
BLACK MAGICK AND THE LIES OF REDEMPTION
CAN NEVER CONQUER THAT WHICH WAS SET IN STONE

A BLACK TERRIBLE SHADOW FELL
GROWING THINGS YEARNED FOR LIGHT
A BLACK TERRIBLE SHADOW FELL
PROWLING THINGS WISHED FOR SHELTER

NAMTAR, HE CAME FROM HEAVENS
NAMTAR, HE CAME BEARING DOOM

HE SPAKE WITH THUNDER IN VOICE
THE HIGH ONE, AN, HE WAS WROTH
HE SPAKE WITH THUNDER IN VOICE
THE ONE BELOW, NERGAL, HE WAS ANGERED

NAMTAR, HE CAME FROM THE GODS
NAMTAR, HE CAME BEARING DOOM

LET NO MAN ESCAPE NERGAL
LET NO MAN ESCAPE DOOM OF AN
LET NO MAN ESCAPE DEATH
LET NO MAN ESCAPE DOOM OF GODS

NAMTAR, HE IS THE MORNSTAR
NAMTAR, HE IS THE EVENSTAR

In the lower world a queen stood fast
In the netherworld a goddess ruled
Ir-Kalla, her realm and her name
Ir-Kalla, the realm of final death
Before there was Nergal the usurper
Before she was named Ereshkigal
Corpses decomposed in the world after
Yet their spirits remained suspended
By entering through the seven gates
By renouncing the worldly goods
By entering through the seven gates
Corpses came to rest, also the spirits
Ir-Kalla, her realm without fear
Ir-Kalla, her realm without joy
Ir-Kalla, her realm without fire
Ir-Kalla, her realm without life

Intro to "Enuma Elish Ka Nabu Shamamu" 2002 demo.

WHEN ON HIGH THE HEAVEN HAD NOT BEEN NAMED
FIRM GROUND BELOW HAD NOT BEEN NAMED
NOTHING BUT PRIMORDIAL ABSU THEIR BEGETTER
AND MUMMU AND TIAMAT SHE WHO BORE THEM ALL
THEIR WATERS COMMINGLING A SINGLE BODY
NO REEDHUT HAD BEEN MATTED, NO MARSH HAD APPEARED
WHEN NO GODS WHATSOEVER HAD BEEN BROUGHT INTO BEING
UNCALLED BY NAME THEIR DESTINIES UNDETERMINED
THEN IT WAS THAT THE GODS WERE FORMED WITHIN THEM

OUT OF CONFUSION LAHMU AND LAHAMU
THE PRIMORDIAL SILT ROSE
OUT OF THE MIST ANSHAR AND KISHAR
THE VAST SKY AND THE EARTH SEPARATED

AND THEY BEGOT ANU AND ANU BEGOT EA
THE GREAT SPIRIT RULER SUPREME
AND FROM ABSU AND TIAMAT WERE BORN
MANY EVIL SPIRITS THAT CAUSED CALAMITY

AND THEY DID TROUBLE TIAMAT'S BELLY
AND THEY DID WREAK GREAT HAVOC
LAHMU AND LAHAMU, ANSHAR AND KISHAR
ANU AND EA, THEY REMAINED SPEECHLESS

BUT EA THE ALL-WISE DEVISED A MASTER DESIGN
ENKI THE LORD OF THE EARTH AND SWEET WATERS
BY SPELL MUMMU WAS PUT TO SLEEP AND SLAIN
BY SPELL ABSU WAS PUT TO SLEEP AND SLAIN

IN HIS TEMPLE, AT THE EDGE OF ABYSS
ENKI AND HIS WIFE DAMKINA BEGAT A SON
PERFECT WERE HIS MEMBERS BEYOND COMPREHENSION
UNSUITED FOR UNDERSTADING, DIFFUCULT TO PERCEIVE

FOUR IN NUMBER WERE HIS ALL-SEEING EYES
FOUR IN NUMBER WERE HIS ALL-HEARING EARS
WHEN HE MOVED HIS LIPS FIRE BLAZED FORTH
FOR HE WAS THE LOFTIEST OF THE GODS, MADE KING

TIAMAT ENRAGED DECLARED WAR ON THE GODS
KINGU HER GREATEST SERPENT LEAD THE LEGIONS
MARDUK TOOK THE BOW AND HE TOOK THE LIGHTNING
HE TOOK THE FLOOD-STORM, THE FOUR WINDS AND THE NET

CLAD IN ARMOUR OF TERROR HE MOUNTED HIS CHARIOT
AT THE VERY SIGHT OF HIM...

KINGU THE SERPENT WAS PUT TO DEATH
AND THE SERPENT'S EVIL BLOOD SPEWED FORTH
OUT OF THE BLOOD MARDUK AND ENKI CREATED
THE SAVAGE-MAN, WICKED FROM BIRTH

AND THUS MARDUK DIVIDED THE GODS
THREE-HUNDRED TO LIVE IN THE HEAVENS
THREE-HUNDRED TO LIVE ON THE EARTH
SIDE BY SIDE WITH THE SAVAGE-MAN

FOR MARDUK THE GODS BUILT A TEMPLE
IN BABYLON, ESGILA THEY BUILT THE TEMPLE
THEY HELD A BANQUET IN HIS HONOR
THEY PROCLAIMED HIS FIFTY NAMES

AND THUS THE WORLD CAME INTO BEING
AND THE KINGUSPAWN, WICKED IN THEIR WAYS

FALLEN FROM THE SKIES ABOVE
AS THE SPIRIT OF TIAMAT TURNS
AN ANCIENT TALE OF BETRAYAL
AND SURVIVAL OF THE STRONGEST

CROWNED KING OF THE UNDERWORLD
AN ASHEN LAND BENEATH THE SOIL
CROWNED KING OF THE UNDERWORLD
WHERE ALL DEAD SPIRITS DWELL

FALLEN WITH THE SPIRITS OF EVIL
AS THE IMPURE TAINT OF CREATION
KNOWLEDGE SUPREME, WISDOM OF WORLDS
CROWNED KING OF THE UNDERWORLD

DARKNESS BELOW, DARKNESS ABOVE
FOREVER THIS DARKNESS RISES
FROM THE DEATHLY CONTAMINATED SOIL
NOW FEEL MY SPIRIT'S STENCH

Death hath come within the walls of the household
Death came when the spirits of sickness departed
The eldest lies upon his bed and speaks no longer
The eldest is dead upon his bed, beside his children
The sons tear at their beards and gnash their teeth
The women cover their heads and burst into tears
The grave-pit beneath the floor must be opened
To receive the deceased, to go with him the offerings
A cup to hold the nectar of after-life
A vessel to hold the food of after-life
His dearest charms upon his best garments
So that he does not grow angered at the living
For having forsaken him...

Behold the walls, they shall stand
I made them, Gilgamesh, I am King
The Gods made us from the blood of Kingu
The Gods made us from dust and blood
Marduk was their champion
Kneel under the power of El
Utnapishtim remembers, he is the eldest
Utnapishtim remembers, he is immortal
Behold the walls, Uruk shall not fall
As long as people serve the gods
Uruk shall not fall as long as they remember
If I am forgotten they shall fall
Apsu shall devour, and ravage the world
And forgetfulness shall overcome the world
And Apsu devours, and takes the written words
Writing came from the sea, and the sea...

WILD MAN OF THE PLAINS
COME TO CIVILIZATION
SLEEP WITH THE WHORE
MAKE ANIMALS ASHAMED

ENKIDU!
YOU SLEEP WITH THE BEASTS
ENKIDU!
YOU WALK WITH THE BEASTS
ENKIDU!
YOU KNOW NO LANGUAGE
ENKIDU!
COME TASTE THE ORGY

SUBMIT TO THE GODS
SUBMIT TO KING OF THE GODS
GILGAMESH IS YOUR KING
THE KING THE GODS HAVE SET

ENKIDU!
YOU ARE THE STRONGEST
ENKIDU!
YOU ARE THE BRAVEST
ENKIDU!
YOU LACK KNOWLEDGE
ENKIDU!
YOU NEED THE WHORE

THE WALLS OF UR STAND
LIKE THE THRONE OF THE KING
BEHOLD THEM! HE MADE THEM TALL
BEHOLD THEM! THEY SHALL STAND

YOU WILL DIE FOR HIM
HE WILL MAKE YOU LIVE AGAIN
YOU WILL DIE...
