I woke up with the feeling that soon I will die
And I wanted to avert my fate
My death waited for me at the named after me
Inward Babylonian gate
I could try and deny, I could run, I could hide
But it's senseless whatever I do
But I wanted to live and become an immortal
That's why I split myself in two

Don't invite the curse
Things will get much worse
If you wake the hound that sleeps at north
Rues are valuless
And I must confess
This five-legged lame hound's my piece of death

We have started to fight and all day and all night
We fought in this demolishing war
But the other gods saw death began to outfight
They begged: come to your senses, Ishtar!
They put pressure on us, on accepting our cuss
And they pushed us to come to a peace
I became bodyless, into hound turned my death
It's exiled and should never release

Don't invite the curse
Things will get much worse
If you wake the hound that sleeps at north
Rues are valuless
And I must confess
This five-legged lame hound's my piece of death

Death
Death
Hear the hearts beat like the drums
Death
Death
If he wakes up then he comes

He delivers plague
On his five lame legs
He is called Peace Death his fur is black
Walk around this lands
Quietly on tiptoes
Don't wake up the woe that sleeps in snows
