The Gates Of Babylon |
| 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 release your soul |
| At the gates of Babylon |
| Dear ancient one, I see your home |
| At the gates of Babylon |
| At the gates of Babylon |
| At the gates of Babylon |
