Sarpanitum

Halls of Decadence

Sarpanitum


To Kurnugi 
Land of no return 
Ishtar daughter of sin determined 

To the darkhorse, dwelling of Erkalla's god 
Where dust is their food, clay is their bread 
Clothed like birds, with feathers 
They see no light, they dwell in darkness 

To the darkhorse, dwelling of Erkalla's god 
They see no light, they dwell in darkness 
Where dust is their food, clay is their bread 
Death shall outweigh life 
Clothed like birds, with feathers 
Open your gates for me 
They see no light, they dwell in darkness 
Shatter the bolt, smash the door 

Open your gates for me to come in 
Shatter the bolt, smash the door 
Raise up the dead 
Eat the living 
Death shall outweigh life 

Disease of Man 
Disease of Mankind 

As soon as Ishtar went down to Kurnugi 
Ereshkigal looked at her and trembled before her 
Ishatar did not deliberate but leant over (her) 
Ereshkigal made her voice heard and spoke 

Disease of the eyes to her 
Disease of the feet to her 
Disease of the heart to her 
Disease of the head to her 
Disease… 

Open the gate, smash the door in the eye 

To the darkhorse, dwelling of Erkalla's god 
Where dust is their food, clay is their bread 
Clothed like birds, with feathers 
They see no light, they dwell in darkness 

Thou shall not rob me of my only brother 

Seven... Gates of Kurnugi 
Shall be... opened before you
