Gilgamesh Lyrics

Born two thirds divine

And one third mortal

He would rule across the land

The king of horrors rising

His subjects turned to slaves

Raping the women as he

Laughs and misbehaves

The gods would make his equal

Brave Enkidu challenges the king but loses

And from this fight they will both find a friend

The sun will rise and the sun will fall again

Who would remember my name, Gilgamesh

Though I set out to become immortal god

I am content with my fate, Gilgamesh

Together they will ride

Into the Cedar forest

Bravely they would fight

Against a fierce opponent

Angering the gods

They send the bull of heaven

But against the odds

They both shall rise victorious

The gods would sentence brave Enkidu to his death

For seven nights the king laments in despair

The sun will rise and the sun will fall again

Who would remember my name, Gilgamesh

Though I set out to become immortal god

I am content with my fate, Gilgamesh

Then Gilgamesh while been destroyed after his brother's death

Sets out to travel, hopes to find the key to eternal life

He learns that life of which he looks for he will never find

Nevertheless he has to try he has to turn the tide

Survivor of the flood

He tells the king he should not

Sleep for seven days

But sleep could not be conquered

He found the magic plant

Deep in the oceans bottom

Moments out of sight

The snake would take it from him

When Gilgamesh laid eyes on his beloved city

He made peace with his mortality at last

The sun will rise and the sun will fall again

Who would remember my name, Gilgamesh

Though I set out to become immortal god

I am content with my fate, Gilgamesh

The sun will rise and the sun will fall again

Who would remember my name, Gilgamesh

Though I set out to become immortal god

I am content with my fate, Gilgamesh
