Babylon (Sammu-Rawat) Lyrics

Oh, you, ancient Babylon
The most beautiful of them all
Pride of the ancient world
Before you, they kneel
Kings and Emperors

Hail! Hail!
Hail!Hail!

Oh! Melancholic Queen
of the ancient city
With your superior courage
Be rushed into battle
Do not weep daughter
For the blood that flooded the streets.
There in your hanged gardens
Eternal secrets are whispered
And conspiracies are revealed

Queen of the Universe, Hail!
Queen of Babylon, Hail!
Daughter of Astarte, Hail!
Sammu-Rawat!

Oh! Great gate of God
With your almighty Kings
How many mystical conspiracies
In the Temple of Marduk

Queen of the Universe, Hail!
Queen of Babylon, Hail!
Daughter of Astarte, Hail!
Sammu-Rawat!

The covered pole
With the human skins
Will stay forever carved
In your memory
From the UR dynasty
The spirit of Hammurabi
Still flows on your weeping walls

Queen of the Universe, Hail!
Queen of Babylon, Hail!
Daughter of Astarte, Hail!
Sammu-Rawat!

Voices, screams and cries
Through the passage of centuries
Under the gates of Ishtar
Oh! Cradle of civilization!

Daughter of Euphrates
I wonder through
The spheres of the past
On ancient memories
Of blasphemous souls
I walk on the darkly paths
Of those who conspired
For your immoral descending

Queen of the Universe, Hail!
Queen of Babylon, Hail!
Daughter of Astarte, Hail!
Sammu-Rawat!
