The Siege of Aratta Songtext
von Eridu

Behold the watchtowers
In front of Aratta Uruk pitched camp
From the walls javelins were raining down as from a cloud
One year the siege lasts ferocity turned to bitterness

Enmerkar sends a messenger to Uruk
Lugalbanda requests Inanna′s advice

Between the dunes the horizon will fall down
He's running under stars at night
Through the mountains the message finds its way
Inanna is near within one day


Back in Uruk he paces the way of his dreams
Inanna I feel you and your presence in my veins
Your instructions will surrender the city to us
Conquered with blood

Only a ritual
Of ancient wizardry
Can overcome Aratta
Uruk will prevail
In the siege of
Aratta

Between the dunes the horizon will fall down
He′s running under the stars at night
Through the mountains the message finds its way
Inanna is near within one day
