Inanna, walk with me
Through this valley of sleep
May the moon, which hangs overhead
Light my every step
Ereshkigal, great Queen of the Earth
Who looks over the dead
May your gates be open to me
That I may find some rest
"There is a curse, which perches upon my shoulders
I can hear it's beak clacking as it picks at my ears
It's talons tear into my flesh
But my blood is cold and as it soaks through my clothes
It watches as I drink deep from this river
And laughs as the water turns to piss in my mouth
Food turns to ash as I chew it
And pleasure tears at me from the inside
The touch of another scorches against my skin
Knowledge burns a hole into my mind and grants me visions of things to come
And music grates against my ears, as a high pitched wail of doom"
Only the ending is assured
And death's sweet embrace
Inanna, walk with me
Through this valley of sleep
May the moon, which hangs overhead
Light my every step
Ereshkigal, great Queen of the Earth
Who looks over the dead
May your gates be open to me
That I may find some rest
Corrupt and withdrawn
I break away from this
Slowly adorned
There's no return from this
An eye for an eye
Tooth for tooth
Scattered
Lost in truth
Drawn to the dark
There is a hole in my heart
And only the ending is assured
With death's sweet embrace
Inanna, step with me
In this valley of sleep
May the moon, ever overhead
Light my every step
Ereshkigal, great Queen of Death
Who seeks to claim my head
Are your gates open to me
So I can find some rest?
Through this valley of sleep
May the moon, which hangs overhead
Light my every step
Ereshkigal, great Queen of the Earth
Who looks over the dead
May your gates be open to me
That I may find some rest
"There is a curse, which perches upon my shoulders
I can hear it's beak clacking as it picks at my ears
It's talons tear into my flesh
But my blood is cold and as it soaks through my clothes
It watches as I drink deep from this river
And laughs as the water turns to piss in my mouth
Food turns to ash as I chew it
And pleasure tears at me from the inside
The touch of another scorches against my skin
Knowledge burns a hole into my mind and grants me visions of things to come
And music grates against my ears, as a high pitched wail of doom"
Only the ending is assured
And death's sweet embrace
Inanna, walk with me
Through this valley of sleep
May the moon, which hangs overhead
Light my every step
Ereshkigal, great Queen of the Earth
Who looks over the dead
May your gates be open to me
That I may find some rest
Corrupt and withdrawn
I break away from this
Slowly adorned
There's no return from this
An eye for an eye
Tooth for tooth
Scattered
Lost in truth
Drawn to the dark
There is a hole in my heart
And only the ending is assured
With death's sweet embrace
Inanna, step with me
In this valley of sleep
May the moon, ever overhead
Light my every step
Ereshkigal, great Queen of Death
Who seeks to claim my head
Are your gates open to me
So I can find some rest?
