Текст песни: Serpent of the Deep + перевод

Arise — horned serpent of the deep

Awake — Great spirit of the deep

Serpent of the deep — serpent of the deep

Serpent of the deep — awake from eternal sleep

Serpent of the deep — Ninngizhidda

Open the gate for me

You who dwell in Cutha, thee I invoke

In the name of Enki, now arise

Serpent of the deep — serpent of the deep

Serpent of the deep — awake from eternal sleep

Serpent of the deep — Ninngizhidda

Open the gate for me

The watcher stood fast

And spoke unto me

Queen of heavens

This is the land of Cutha

The land of no return

The dreaded black earth

Queen of heavens

This is the realm of Absu

For you have entered the gates of Ganzir

Through the seven steps

Down to the frightful pit

Oh great gatekeeper

Let me pass to the lands of Kur

Open the gate! lest I cause the dead to rise

Lest I attack the door

Lest I break apart its bars

Open the gate! or the dead

Shall devour the living

Serpent of the deep — serpent of the deep

Serpent of the deep — servant of Ereshkigal

Serpent of the deep — Ninngizhidda

Open the gate for me

Now hear me mistress, queen among the gods

I will announce thee, before the queen of death

Ereshkigal, thy sister stands before the gate

Daughter of sin, she awaits

Go watcher of the gate, open the door for Ishtar

And treat her as it is written

In the ancient covenant

Ninngizhidda lost the bolt from the hatch

And darkness fell upon the Ishtar

Dark waters rose and carried the goddess of light

Onwards to the kingdom of night

And the serpent spoke: enter…

And Ishtar entered

Before the land of Kur

Before the Cutha depths

She lost her talismans

Severed from the upper worlds

Before the queen of death

She lost her seven powers

'Cause it is the covenant of old

Set before time

The gatekeeper removed the seven jewels

The jeweled robes of Ishtar he took away

Serpent of the deep — serpent of the deep

Serpent of the deep — bows before Ereshkigal

Serpent of the deep — Ninngizhidda

Open the gate for me

Now she dwells in Cutha without food of light

Bound in darkness in the sea below the seas

Against her eyes — demons of the eyes

Against her heart — demons of the heart

Against her head — demons of the head

Against entire body — demons of Kur
