Awakening a goddess in the dark On a stake she's been hanging like a doll Tried to reach for the underworld Had to pass through the seven gates of hell
Naked, lost, and deprived of all All the power that she had lost
Dear ancient god, reveal your home At the gates of Babylon Dear ancient one, I see your home At the gates of Babylon
Sent by Lord Enki to find, the goddess Ishtar, and bring her back to life The tale of death and rebirth will become, the walls of kings and the goddess that she was
Naked, lost and deprived of all All the power that she had lost
Dear ancient god, reveal your home At the gates of Babylon Dear ancient one, I see your home At the gates of Babylon
(Ishtar to Erishkigal) Dear sister what have I done to deserve thy anger? I passed through the seven gates, now all I had is yours The underworld that you rule, I became a victim of the messenger from another time has brought me home
Dear ancient god, reveal your home At the gates of Babylon Dear ancient one, I see your home At the gates of Babylon
Dear ancient god, reveal your home At the gates of Babylon Dear ancient one, I see your home At the gates of Babylon Dear ancient God release your soul, at the gates of Babylon Dear ancient one, I see your home At the gates of Babylon
