The Great Divide Songtext
von Eridu

Furious
Tiamat plans war
Apsu betrayed by Ea
His corpse on her lap
She cannot restrain herself
From bursting into flames
Glorious
The vengeance will be
She gives birth to an army
Offspring of the void
Armed and awake
Revenge for her consort is near

Wielding the power of creation
Against divine supremacy
Marduk great and wise
By his stroke
Heaven and earth divide


Fiercely
The bloodshed is done
Covered in blood and entrails
Marduk slays them
Butchers Tiamats sons
Facing her army alone
Tiamat screams
Trapped in his net
Killed by an arrow down her throat
Severed her head

Wielding the power of creation
Against divine supremacy
Marduk great and wise
By his stroke
Heaven and earth divide

In two parts
And thus he made the earth
And thus he made the firmament
From the head and the heart of Tiamat
He pours her blood
And thus he made the sea
He took her eyes and her limbs
And thus he made the stars
He made the great Divide


He made the great Divide
In two parts
And thus he made the earth
And thus he made the firmament
From the head and the heart of Tiamat
Heart of Tiamat
He pours her blood
And thus he made the sea
He took her eyes and her limbs
And thus he made the stars
He made the great Divide
