The scattered remains of dead warriors
Most beautiful flowers of the battlefield
Dearest offerings to the lady in white
Queen of Harlots and Soldiers, we call thee!
Spirit of Venus, remember!
She descends the seven gates
Accomplishing her fate
Ereshkigal, her sister
Is blind with rage
Demons wrap the goddess of men
Her corpse they hang to a stake
Three days in darkness
Sorrow of the Zonei
The beautiful Queen
Bright shining one of the heavens, they
Lay hung and bleeding
From a thousand fatal wounds
Sprinkled by the liquor of life
The dark waters trembled and stirred
Inanna arose
Lady in white, set us free!
Ascending from the grave
She trespasses the seven gates
Ereshkigal, her sister
Is pale with fear
The mistress of the gods
Bright shining one of the heavens, they
Left hung and bleeding
From a thousand fatal wounds
Spirit of Venus, remember!
Demons wrap the goddess of men
Her corpse they hang to a stake
Three days in darkness
Sorrow of the Zonei
Though Inanna rises from the netherworld
And the spirits of the dead flow with her out of the gates
Ereshkigal, Queen of the Abyss wherein, she drowns
And is chained under the sea below the seas
