Lyrics

["Marching annunaki" intro written and performed by ashmedi]

Ia anu, ia antu, ia marduk
Ia ninlil, ia enki, ia ninki
Ia nanna, ia ningal, ia utu
Ia inanna, ia ischkur, ia ninhursag
Time has come for akitu celebration
The equinox of nisan has arrived... arrived

[Refrain:]
Until the twelth day our fate shall be sealed
By the divine counsel our future will be revealed
As the annunaki march again
Through babylon's precious gates

Sombre chants resound from the ziggurat
The secret of esagila is sung before dawn
From the axis mundi of three cosmic domains
Whisper the words of the enuma elish

[Refrain]

*Marduk descends into the mountain, until the barques' arrival*
Within the apzu's maze, bestead by the wailing goddess
Liberated by force through nabu, great lord of the written word
After his triumphant return is summoned the assemblation
For fate's first determination, through the unequaled

[Refrain]

All babylon goes exultant
The sheperd of the stars (is) reborn
To perform the sacred marriage rite
With the daughter of the moonlight for the microcosmic plains
He determines fate a second time
As a challenge for mankind
After the departure of the nibiru giants
