The Gates Of Babylon - Volbeat

Awakening a goddess in the dark

On a stake she’s been hanging like a doll

Tried to reach for the underworld

Had to pass through the seven gates of hell

Naked, lost, and deprived of all

All the power that she had lost

Dear ancient god, reveal your home

At the gates of Babylon

Dear ancient one, I see your home

At the gates of Babylon

Sent by Lord Enki to find, the goddess Ishtar, and bring her back to life

The tale of death and rebirth will become

The walls of kings and the goddess that she was

Naked, lost and deprived of all

All the power that she had lost

Dear ancient god, reveal your home

At the gates of Babylon

Dear ancient one, I see your home

At the gates of Babylon

(Ishtar to Erishkigal)

Dear sister what have I done to deserve thy anger?

I passed through the seven gates, now all I had is yours

The underworld that you rule, I became a victim of

The messenger from another time has brought me home

Dear ancient god, reveal your home

At the gates of Babylon

Dear ancient one, I see your home

At the gates of Babylon

Dear ancient God release your soul

At the gates of Babylon

Dear ancient one, I see your home

At the gates of Babylon

At the gates of Babylon

At the gates of Babylon
