Babylon Burning

"My holy powers lost their might

I need to rest for a hundred nights"

So Marduk called for a fair deputy

And Erra offered to assume control

"Let me take over all your reign

I will take care of your domain"

The god of war betrayed the king of gods

And turned against the holy Babylon

Burning, all is burning

Fire and chaos around

Burning, all is burning

Babylon blazed to the ground

"Hundreds of years I have lived in peace

Now I am thirsty for blood

I will not spare humankind

And devastate each of their kind"

Ereshkigal tried to calm Erra's rage

But she could not prevent the god from

Burning, all is burning

Fire and chaos around

Burning, all is burning

Babylon blazed to the ground

"Blind with rage, I killed them all

The good and bad alike

I realize the misery

That caused my raging strike"

Burning, all was burning

Bright is the future ahead

Burning, all was burning

Babylon rose from the dead
