From the Great Above to the Great Below

The star of twilight and the star of dusk

Manifest thy powers above

Of war and chaos but still of lust

Now searching for the great below

She will descend and she will rise

Like the evening and morning star

But what gives life must surely die

To make a journey this far

Ruler of the great land - Ereshkigal

Open now the great below - Irkalia

Stripped by powers one by one

As she's passing through the gates

Royal garments left behind

Descending to her fate

Guide her way deep down inside

Lead her all the way

For the dead a sacrifice

Forever she must stay

Open the gates - Queen

Open the halls - Of

Powers arise - The

Ascend from thy thrall - Dead

All doors unlocked, now bare she stands

Sweat glimmers on her skin

But life leaves and she lifts her hands

To curse her sister's grin

The look of death and the speech of anger

Seven ones to judge her fate

The empress now drained of power

A corpse to be hanged inside their gates

By the walls of grief a Sumerian cry

To fulfill the cursed one's wish

Bring the dead back to the sky

Free the soul bewitched

Go as ghosts, go as wind

Make your way below

Seen by none, unlit and dim

Bring her light back below

Ruler of the great land - Ereshkigal

Open now the great below - Irkalia

Open the gates - Queen

Open the halls - Of

Powers arise - The

Ascend from thy thrall - Dead
