Beyond the Gates of Nineveh
Asleep for countless centuries
Beneath the endless sands of time
'Til excavations did unearth my bones and ruins
I now reclaim what once was mine
Ishtar rise
Lost are the temple of Sin
Shamash and Nergal
No one will ever kneel before Ashur’s altar
No longer sacrifices t Nabiu — Ninurta
Forever bow before the great goddess Ishtar
I bring the truth — Sweep lies away
This time forever I will stay — Within — Beyond her gates
Regain what once was mine — Beyond the sands of time
Regain what once was mine Ishtar rise
Regain what once was mine — Beyond the sands of time
Regain what once was mine — Behold
Ishtar rise
Besieged and saced in 612 BC
Razed to the ground — My sacred and divine city
Defeated by their rites
But now with wrath I rise from pits and from earth piles
I bring the truth — Sweep lies away
This time forever I will stay — Within — Beyond her gates
Regain what once was mine — Beyond the sands of time
Regain what once was mine Ishtar rise
Regain what once was mine — Beyond the sands of time
