Etemenanki

You tell me dear, I deserve to sleep in the shadows At the foot of your temple dear I've slept before these outer walls Praying to Jupiter To relieve me of myself Jupiter, Jupiter, under your reign I'm crying, don't you hear my name? I told you, dear, of the time when I became broken At the foot of your temple dear Yes, I've slept before these outer walls Dreaming of your chariot Drawn by four horses with poison in their mouths Wielding flood and fire behind you Rewarded by the gate to God Rewarded by the gate to God Rewarded by the gate to God I'm returning to the city where I was born So I can live my past Away from all your written power That you may let your slaves toil Build to the sky, the tower of your sin Marduk, I am just a broken woman On fertile land I'm crying, don't you hear my name?
