Volbeat The Gates Of Babylon
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 lost
Dear ancient god, reveal your home
At the gates of Babylon
Dear ancient god, I see your home
At the gates of Babylon
Sent by Lord Enki to find, the goddess lshtar,
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 lost
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 victim of
the messenger from another time has brought me home
Dear ancient god, reveal your home
At the gates of Babylon
Dear ancient god, I see your home
At the gates of Babylon
Dear ancient god, release your soul
At the gates of Babylon
Dear ancient god, I see your home
At the gates of Babylon
