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

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 05:00
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 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 05:52
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) 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!
