Nergal and Ereshkigal Lyrics

Nergal, the controller of summer and heat

To the world of underground hath he come on the command of the Gods

In order to apologize to Ereshkigal

The queen of the dead and cold

But at last he was seduced by the infernal beauty of her body

And after Nergal left, Ereshkigal cried her eyes out

She got frantic with his love and sent Namtar the herald

To catch and bring him to Hell

In order to be able to hug him again

If he didn't come back, she would resurrect the dead

And they would gnaw the alive

The dead would outnumber the alive

Nergal hath to knuckle under to desires of the “great anger”

Through the stairway to Hell ascended he from the sky

Beat the guards of 7 gates and reached to the throne saloon

Catching Ereshkigal, he threw her down the throne

By grabbing her hair and dragged her

Ereshkigal, crying, begged for marrying

She would leave him the kingdom of prime lands

She would give him the wisdom tablets

Nergal gave out and embracing his dark lover

Accepted to share his throne with her
