Bãbilim (the time has come)
Let me take you on a journey
To a place where flames were burning tameless, yet serene
The jewel of near east
The dawn of grace, and of awakening
In the center of the realm below the newborn stars
Sumer, Akkad
When we reach the shores of the bitter ocean
The crimson moon is gliding beyond the sea
Here in this moment legends and olden lores become one with reality
Divinity, prosperity
Babylon, your time has come
On this very path we trample
Deities themselves once ambled
And their legacy lives on, never gone
Through the gate of Ishtar thus advance
And let us take a sustained glance at the metropolis of gods
O holy Babylon
When we reach the shores of the bitter ocean
The crimson moon is gliding beyond the sea
Here in this moment legends and olden lores become one with reality
Divinity, Prosperity
Babylon, your time has come

Sin of Ur

Sin of Ur
Strong young bullock with pointed beard
Divinity, opener of the road
Divine powers, your ziqqurat has no equal
He lightens horizon
Lord of Ur, he is first son of Bel
Tide is high in black skywater
Miracle, he is sailing in the sky
Seeing all, with his daughter ruling all
Moon god Sin, father of queen Inanna
Together, when the night is darkened
Thou divine Sin of Ur, hailstorm falls on us
He can make a day black as the darkest night
Creating light, the shining one
Sitting in the half circle of the moon
Seven pleasures hiding danger
Moonlight rays are ornaments on the stone
In the night, in the darkest night
He will fight, in moonlight he fights
Miracle, he is sailing in the sky
Seeing all, with his daughter ruling all
Moon god Sin, father of queen Inanna
Together, when the night is darkened
Thou divine Sin of Ur, hailstorm falls on us
He can make a day black as the darkest night

Nanaya

Nanaya
Lady of higher powers
Emerging bright like daylight
Forever for her virtuous beauty
Nanaya, you are the ornament of Eana
Eye of the land, mistress of all wise men
Queen who occupies high thrones of desire
Woman who knows well verdicts, of the good decisions of the land
Mistress, source of sin, leads you to the ancient flames of passion
Nanaya, goddess of the Sin
Burning like fire
Nanaya, empress of the sun
Shining deep desire
Illuminating the night
Enter the ritual of love
Demonic script will be read
On pleasant nocturnal bed
The name of her temple, heavenly temptation
The rites of perfection, point of satisfaction
Desire of her heart, determiner of destinies of all
Precious are you names, you are the most exalted one directing
Nanaya, goddess of the Sin
Burning like fire
Nanaya, empress of the sun
Shining deep desire

Lilith the Warlock
Sweet is her tongue
Taste could deceive
And her charmed hair was golden at first
Dances, infernal beauty bending over
Perfume, glimmer
Your one and only queen
Baphomet, Illuminati
Magical Lilith the warlock
Deeper the love, deeper the sleep
Eyes burned at thine
Draw thy spell through him
No one may not sleep in a house alone
Look on her in lust and despair
Goat of Mendes
Baphomet, Illuminati
Magical Lilith the warlock
Mystery, maid of the evil
Beautiful Lilith the warlock
Baphomet, Illuminati
Magical Lilith the warlock

The Great flood

The Great Flood
Reed houses, tear them down
Build a boat to keep alive all the men, animals
Loaded on into the boats
Just as dawn began to glow
Arose a black cloud from horizon
Adad rumbled inside of it
Turned to blackness all that had been light
Seven days came with wind and flood
Seven nights of rage, of the great flood
Seven days came with sin and blood
Seven nights of rage, of the great flood
When the eighth day arrived
Wind fell still, land was flat
Enlil arrived, filled with rage
No man was to survive
Fear and trembling shook the survivors
Charged the offense to the offender
Violation to the violator
So be patient, lest they be killed
Seven days came with wind and flood
Seven nights of rage, of the great flood
Seven days came with sin and blood
Seven nights of rage, of the great flood

Evil days

Evil Days
Seven days of divine war
Took anger of the daughter of Sin
She burned down all the great gates
Rivers ran with blood because of her
The kingship of heaven
Has been seized by a woman
O Inanna
Feared not great An
Raising of your fierce countenance
Her flashing eyes
Evil days and evil nights
Demons are here to their clives
Evil wings and evil skies
Flaming rain over the land
Everything in your power
Blowing louder than a howling storm
Led in the van of battle
Kept on moaning like the evil winds
Conducted rites, innovations
Rising moonlight
End up monsters
Ancient words of incantations
The charmed arrow took care of it
Evil days and evil nights
Demons are here to their clives
Evil wings and evil skies
Flaming rain over the land

Empire of the sun

Empire of the Sun
The hands of my changeling mother
Once nurtured me
In secrecy she weaved a basket of rushes and twigs
So carefully she sealed the lid
Let the Tigris billows carry me downstream
Empire of the sun
Now rise to zenith of unbridled might
No fortress can withstand the arrows of Zababa
Empire of the sun
Now rise from sea to sea, from earth to skies
The Lion Goddess blesses all her sons and daughters
The drawer of water spied my grief
He welcomed me, adopted me
As his gardener my wisdom grew
I discovered the path that leads to the truth
This was the beginning of my rule
Empire of the sun
Now rise to zenith of unbridled might
No fortress can withstand the arrows of Zababa
Empire of the sun
Now rise from sea to sea, from earth to skies
The Lion Goddess blesses all her sons and daughters
Empire of the sun
Now rise from sea to sea
On earth your glory never dies

Rising evil

Rising Evil
South wind, Dragon, Leopard
Shibbu, Wolf, Rampant, Evil wind
They are demons full of violence
Compassion and mercy they don't know
Spilling their blood everywhere like a rain
Seven are they, hearing no prayer
In underworld the divine fire
Ignited is to burn us forevermore
The veil of sorrow then shall darken the sun
We stand to face the rising evil
Messengers to god Anu
Maskim is the twice seven
Overflowing mighty destroyers
Seven on earth, seven in heaven
The eye on the throne opened up in fear
Seven are they, in the black darkness
In underworld the divine fire
Ignited is to burn us forevermore
The veil of sorrow then shall darken the sun
We stand to face the rising evil

Sargon (The Legacy)

Sargon (the legacy)
Engrave my tale
How as a servant, lowly castaway
I rose, defied, truly vanquished two mighty kings
How beaten, enchained and fettered
Under galling yoke
I made them bow before their own gods
In shame and defeat
And when a city falls
Rebuild it back to glory
For people, not for gods
So people hail my name
Sargon - Conqueror
Sargon - Sarru-Kan
Let my name blare eternally
Aeons resound my legacy
By silver mountain and by cedar trees
Forests evergreen
Unto Dagan I submit myself
For dominion, the command
Thirty and four times
Blood stained the barren land in Amurru and Elam
Now weapons have been washed and cleaned
In the pleasant upper sea
And when a city fell
I built it back to glory
For people, not for gods
And people praised my name
Sargon - Conqueror
Sargon - Sarru-Kan
Let my name blare eternally
Aeons resound my legacy
Hail, King Sargon!
