One tamed the wolfs and lions, now he defies a king
He hit the streets of Uruk, people had come to see them
A fight of fame and honour.
Bursting wood and breaking stone
No one is giving in, they`re equal like they were brothers
It was foretold
They have to stand as one and not as enemies
For the truth lies in a dream so many times
It was foretold
Deep in their hearts they bear the ancient prophecies
And a mother owns a second son today
Now they`re aware that they can fight their strongest enemy
The hated guardian of the cedar-wood
Send down by Enlil he`s the cancer of humanity
Those who have seen him died in pain
Forbidden road
In the distance they can hear his roar just like the flood
And his ears heard every step they have made
Forbidden road
They`re lamed now face to face with this monstrosity
But dancing with the devil means to burn
And the blackened cloud turned white
Like a fog death rained upon the friends
If you know the time has come
Send a prayer, there`s nothing left for you
But Schamach had heard their cry
Sending winds onto the forest-king
When he sank down to his knees
It was more than just a victory
(Chumbaba begging for mercy)
“A dead man ain`t worth anything
So let me me serve you king
I will keep this forest in your name
So let me stay alive”
But Enkidu had made a choice:
“Crush his head, maim and kill him“
And Enlil saw his creature failed, dying in the mud
And rain came pouring from the sky
A river from the mountains
They felled the trees and took his teeth
A raft should take them home
To Nippur they had set the course
But Enlil screamed in anger
A curse fell down to kill the one
Born in the wilderness
(Gilgamesh mourns Enkidu's fate)
“All of you shall hear my cry
Tears will fall from heaven`s gate
This is the darkest day that men have seen
my brother is lost, gone for all time
His bones are made of gold
obsidian, amber, i`d give it all.....
If i could bring him back to life”
