The Gates of Babylon Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Awakening a goddess in the dark
On a stake she's been hanging like a doll
Tried to reach for the underworld
Had to pass through the seven gates of hell
[Refrain]
Naked, lost, and deprived of all
All the power that she had lost
[Chorus]
Dear ancient god, reveal your home
At the gates of Babylon
Dear ancient one, I see your home
At the gates of Babylon
[Verse 2]
Sent by Lord Enki to find, the goddess Ishtar
And bring her back to life
The tale of death and rebirth will become
The walls of kings and the goddess that she was
[Refrain]
Naked, lost, and deprived of all
All the power that she had lost
[Chorus]
Dear ancient god, reveal your home
At the gates of Babylon
Dear ancient one, I see your home
At the gates of Babylon
[Bridge]
Dear sister what have I done to deserve thy anger?
I passed through the seven gates, now all I had is yours
The underworld that you rule, I became a victim of
The messenger from another time has brought me home
[Chorus]
Dear ancient god, reveal your home
At the gates of Babylon
Dear ancient one, I see your home
At the gates of Babylon
[Chorus]
Dear ancient God, release your soul
At the gates of Babylon
Dear ancient one, I see your home
At the gates of Babylon
At the gates of Babylon
At the gates of Babylon
