1. The Siren of the Woods (single version)
Enuma ilu awiluma
Ardu Shamash apkallu baru
Nergal ina ramanisu
Annu ki-utu-kam ilu
Parak simati
Muballit mitte
Nergal allatu mellamu mesaru
La tapallah Annuaki
Kettu Puluthu qillatu
Erset la tari eimmu
Ina ramanisu melammu
Baru dinau
Allatu Nergal
Sar kissati
Nergal allatua
Allatu Adapa
Ina ramaniusue
--------------------------------------
Translation from Akkadian:
When God's human being
Shamash's slave, wise men, saw
Nergal in himself
This Earth-stomped land became God's.
At a decent throne
Of life and death
Nergal comes glowing,
Not stopping at Senior Gods
As he was fear's bride.
In the land with no return
In it's glory
The look upon judgement
Gave birth to Nergal
The king of underground.
Nergal was born,
Adapa suffered,
of what was in himself
2. Cults of the Shadow (edited version)
Secret chiefs cloaked in wisdom
Dark illuminators of Zyx
Brings the putrefaction process
To lead the soul across the Styx
Ludoul bel nimequi ea
Naramtu dianau apsu
The seven ones Babel
Offer a grail of ecstasy
To open the eye of Shiva
Through the great work of ecstasy
Celebrations of becoming
Appears in the Sethian mystery
To turn lead to gold
Through the great work of alchemy
The secret sign of Mendes
Unveil the magick of the goat
Cults of the shadow
Under Ilan Hizon's root
Ludoul bel nimequi ea
Naramtu dianau apsu
The seven ones Babel
Offer a grail of ecstasy
To open the eye of Shiva
Through the great work of ecstasy
Celebrations of becoming
Appears in the Sethian mystery
To turn lead to gold
Through the great work of alchemy
Erset la tari-utu-kam
Adapa baru sar kissati
Ziqqurrat kutha pet pi girru
Erset la tari-utu-kam
Ludoul bel nimequi ea
Naramtu dianau apsu
3. Babylon
Babylon your spirit can not die
Paradise for sin and Lust
Mothertown of demons
You had to fall but "thy fallen shall rise"
In the name of our mother
Babalon; Lilith thy whore
Babylon rise from the depths
Ride on the seeds of time
Legends can not die
Live through the visions in our minds
Walking down the ashes
The ashes of unholy domains
Sin and lust were conquered
Symbolized by the tower that fell
Culture of depravation
Sodomy and sexual obsession
Cults of Baphomet wide spread
A thousand years of pleasure and sin
