To Kurnugi
Land of no return
Ishtar daughter of sin determined
To the darkhorse, dwelling of Erkalla's god
Where dust is their food, clay is their bread
Clothed like birds, with feathers
They see no light, they dwell in darkness
To the darkhorse, dwelling of Erkalla's god
They see no light, they dwell in darkness
Where dust is their food, clay is their bread
Death shall outweigh life
Clothed like birds, with feathers
Open your gates for me
They see no light, they dwell in darkness
Shatter the bolt, smash the door
Open your gates for me to come in
Shatter the bolt, smash the door
Raise up the dead
Eat the living
Death shall outweigh life
Disease of Man
Disease of Mankind
As soon as Ishtar went down to Kurnugi
Ereshkigal looked at her and trembled before her
Ishatar did not deliberate but leant over (her)
Ereshkigal made her voice heard and spoke
Disease of the eyes to her
Disease of the feet to her
Disease of the heart to her
Disease of the head to her
Disease…
Open the gate, smash the door in the eye
To the darkhorse, dwelling of Erkalla's god
Where dust is their food, clay is their bread
Clothed like birds, with feathers
They see no light, they dwell in darkness
Thou shall not rob me of my only brother
Seven... Gates of Kurnugi
Shall be... opened before you
