Lyrics

Babylonian

alsikunūši labīrūtu
ša immahri erṣeta takabbasā
ikkibis nēši
ša uribbū huršānī-ma
ālī lā muštarhūti ušēmû
ana tīlī dikmēni.
anaqqâkkunūši
niqâ ša puqqi u wardūti.
izzumrini kanši
aššēpīkun nušeššer qaqqara

English

Oh, Ancient Ones,
Those who first walked the Earth
With mighty steps
That shook mountains
And reduced cities of the unrepentant
To ash and stone
We make this offering unto you,
Of obedience, and gratitude.
With our bowed bodies
We clear a path at your feet
