Mountain Lion Lyrics

I will go to the mountain

To the forest where the cedar is felled

I will set up my name to be written

In the place where the ferocious lion dwells

He has the face of a lion

And when he roars it's like a storm

With tears streaming down my face, I cry

Oh Shamash, can you hear me

His breath like fire

His jaws of dragon teeth

He snuffs the floor

Just like a rutting beast

Beseeched, the queen

Ninsun was her name

And she begged to her god at the altar of the sun

Shamash the sun

Keep him safe from harm

And the people gathered in the streets

Open the gates

Out of the city

When the Gods had seen

The sacrifice he'd made

They sent the winds

And set the land aflame

With the thrust of his sword

Humbaba hit the floor

Humbaba hit the floor

The lion was no more

Seven blazes, ripped right through the trees

Seven blazes, brought me to my knees

Seven blazes, ripped right through the trees

Seven blazes, brought me to my knees
