Lyrics Ishtar's Gate - Testament

Ishtar's Gate

A goddess of both love and war
The lion and the star
Safe behind the golden gates
Protection from this world
Queen of the underworld
Long may she reign
Queen of nocturnal wars
Obey
You’ve gotta hold on
It won’t be long
A kingdom without a crown
Blood stains the walls of Babylon
Protected by the demi Gods
The Dragon and the Bull
Symbolic of aggressive forces
Lock the golden eight
Queen of the underworld
Long may she reign
Queen of nocturnal wars
Obey
You’ve gotta hold on
It won’t be long
A king without his throne
Blood stained the walls of Babylon
A kingdom built to last forever
Purify the blood of the slaves
For Ishtar’s Gate
Queen of the underworld
Long may she reign
Queen of nocturnal wars
Obey
You’ve gotta hold on
It won’t be long
A kingdom without a crown
Eight gates protecting Babylon
