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.
