lyrics

Gilgamesh
Two-thirds god, one third human
King of Uruk
Onslaught of his weapons has no equal
None will rival
Despotic behavior angered the gods
Strength be challenged
Enkidu brought forth to defy our king

Tame Enkidu
Lead forth the whore
Strength will diminish
Wisdom attained
Gilgamesh and Enkidu
Together now stand
Pine Forest they will venture
To slay Humbaba, guardian of the land

Ominous dreams they had
Humbaba knew of their presence
Gilgamesh, ax in hand
Chopped at the forest
Who has injured the trees
Who has felled the cedars
Sword struck its neck
Humbaba fell, dead

Dream foreshadows death
Enkidu falls by the hands of the angered gods

Gilgamesh
Fear of death overcomes might and strength
Immortality
He seeks through Utnapishtam
Let me not see
The death which I ever dread

Everlasting life, unattainable
Death until eternity, inevitable

Gilgamesh, king of heroes
Returned to Uruk a wiser man
