Tablet Of Destinies

In times of the dawn the council of gods

Had named the lord of the cosmos

An item was made for Enlil's command

To bring unlimited force

Anzu the demon storm-bird was born

With wings and the head of a lion

Engaged to protect the lord of the gods

He snatched the Tablet of Destinies

By the hands of a betrayer

Enlil lost his sacred gift

Who will be the demon slayer

And return the Tablet of Destinies?

Several gods refused to attack

The mighty invincible Anzu

So they beseeched the mother of gods

To bear a powerful hero-god

By the hands of a betrayer

Enlil lost his sacred gift

Who will be the demon slayer

And return the Tablet of Destinies?

In wild destructive battle

No one had gained control

But finally, Ninurta

Could kill the Anzu bird

By the hands of a betrayer

Enlil lost his sacred gift

But Ninurta was the slayer

And returned the Tablet of Destinies
