The scattered remains of dead warriors Most beautiful flowers of the battlefield Dearest offerings to the lady in white Queen of Harlots and Soldiers, we call thee! Spirit of Venus, remember! She descends the seven gates Accomplishing her fate Ereshkigal, her sister Is blind with rage Demons wrap the goddess of men Her corpse they hang to a stake Three days in darkness Sorrow of the Zonei The beautiful Queen Bright shining one of the heavens, they Lay hung and bleeding From a thousand fatal wounds Sprinkled by the liquor of life The dark waters trembled and stirred Inanna arose Lady in white, set us free! Ascending from the grave She trespa**es the seven gates Ereshkigal, her sister Is pale with fear The mistress of the gods Bright shining one of the heavens, they Left hung and bleeding From a thousand fatal wounds Spirit of Venus, remember! Demons wrap the goddess of men Her corpse they hang to a stake Three days in darkness Sorrow of the Zonei Though Inanna rises from the netherworld And the spirits of the dead flow with her out of the gates Ereshkigal, Queen of the Abyss wherein, she drowns And is chained under the sea below the seas
