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 lost



Dear ancient god, reveal your home

At the gates of Babylon

Dear ancient god, I see your home

At the gates of Babylon



Sent by Lord Enki to find, the goddess lshtar,

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 lost



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 victim of

the messenger from another time has brought me home



Dear ancient god, reveal your home

At the gates of Babylon

Dear ancient god, I see your home

At the gates of Babylon

Dear ancient god, release your soul

At the gates of Babylon

Dear ancient god, I see your home

At the gates of Babylon
