Gilgamesh Songtext
von Knight Errant

"Listen to the story of the man who saw the spring of life under the soil
This was the man to whom all things were known
This was the king who new the countries of the world
He was wise
He saw mysteries
He knew the secret things
He brought us the tale of the days before the flood
He went on a long journey, he was weary
Returning he rested and upon a stone he engraved the whole story"
A strong king, called Gilgamesh
More enpowered, more men in trash
Destiny sends him Enkidu
The invincible enemy, beloved friend
And sign for death!
Gilgamesh wants to live forever
In spite of inevitable real death
Cannot meet his destiny
Afraid like every wretched
Gilgamesh wants to be immortal
In spite of the "law of life"


Cannot meet his poverty
He believes in this lie!
Mortal
Madness
Wretched
To give up pray as lost!
Gilgamesh, running after immortality
Gilgamesh, fugitive of destiny
King Gilgamesh!
Gilgamesh, behind immortality
Gilgamesh, fugitive of destiny
King Gilgamesh!
Gilgamesh wants to live forever
In spite of inevitable real death
Cannot meet his destiny
Afraid like every wretched
Gilgamesh wants to be immortal
In spite of the "law of life"
Cannot meet his poverty
He believes in this lie!
Mortal
Madness
Wretched
To give up pray as lost!
Gilgamesh, running after immortality
Gilgamesh, fugitive of destiny
King Gilgamesh!
Gilgamesh, behind immortality
Gilgamesh, fugitive of destiny
King Gilgamesh!
A strong king, called Gilgamesh
