Babylon

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 Corrupt and withdrawn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?
