sea  of  uruk

i  taste  the  salt  of  you

i  hunt  through  sands  of  roba  el  khaliyeh

dumuzi  apzu

your  allure  is  so  very  pure

zi  dingir  anna  kanpa

you  shall  drown  the  fearless  ones

the  sword  of  lapis  lazuli  diadem

your  fullness  and  strength  is  my  delight

edin  na  zu,  edin  na  zu

the  stars  have  spoken  to  me

they've  told  me  the  tale  of  your  past

battles  were  clashed  by  you

long  before  the  cosmos  existed

o'  mountains  of  mashu

please  help  me  to  find  the  grey  stone

i  lost  it,  yet  it's  symbol  unequals  your  race

i  am  in  search  of  the  northern  nineveh;

it's  beyond  the  hills  of  zagros

i  thrust  my  sword  onto  the  veil,  and  then,  in  the  earth

reversed  lightning  strikes  sumerian  sands

they  glance  at  me  with  eyes  of  sunkun  varloorni

their  eyes  flare  red  with  glowing  embers

follow  the  path  of  gold  and  ye  shall  find  the  symbols:

arra,  agga,  and  bandar

in  my  sleeping  village  of  bet  durrabia,

shabatu  forces  the  nineteenth  hour

ye  go  to  thy  apzu;  the  unsightly  abyss  of  enidu

ye  go  to  thy  apzu;  the  impious  axis  of  enidu

i  have  traveled  beneth  the  seas

in  search  of  our  master's  palace

i  have  finally  found  the  grey  stone

of  the  immemorial  ones

i  have  raised  my  armies  in  the  lands

of  the  eastern,  summoning  hordes

i  have  seen  ngga,  god  of  heathens,

as  my  sword  diadem  gleams

the  cosmos  shall  be  greeted  from  the  blood  of  thez  serpent

a  serpent  well  known  as  tehom  mummu  tiamat

man  shall  be  greeted  from  the  blood  of  kingu

thy  queen  of  mashu  will  haunt  the  vision  of  your  breed

o'  my  queen,  i  feel  your  skin  of  white,

i  touch  your  breasts  of  life,

yet  there's  a  battle  i  must  fight

zagros,  avagon,  ngga,  shabatu

thy  skin  of  white  misses  you

please  don't  leave  me  ever,  nevermore

unless  you  go,  please  take  me  with  you

we'll  ride  onto  wings  of  anzu

i  heard  the  bellow  of  wolves  behind  the  half burnt  w-ves

the  tides  of  uruk  swept  your  tongue  across  the  salty  floor

we  have  found  the  apzu;  our  birthplace  toward  avagon

we  have  found  the  apzu;  our  meridian  toward  the  dark

munus  sigsigga

ag  bara  ye

innin  aggish  xashxur

gishnu  urma

apzu
