Khepra atra hasis

Select language to translate this lyric

Gods made the division; Anu went up to the sky
Enlil took the earth, Far-Sighted Enki bars the seas
From their flesh and blood they created humankind
For slavery they took part, unpredictable right
Come let us carry, counsellor of the gods
Create humankind, reflection of the gods
Gods slaughtered Aw-Ilu, who had the inspiration,
Nintu mixed clay with his flesh and her blood
A failed genesis perfected in mind
Fragments of a god was not enough
Atra Hasis was up to task,
Gods gathered like flies around the sacrifice
Let the heralds proclaim and let them shout
Seven are they now, Emissaries of Sky-God
Seven rituals, seven rites, (Seven) hexes
Seven chants whispers of ill winds
Like the wildest screaming
And the winds have howled
And there was no sun
Yansın Evren!
A failed genesis perfected in mind
Fragments of a god was not enough
Atra Hasis was up to task,
Gods gathered like flies around the sacrifice
Let the heralds proclaim and let them shout
Seven are they now, Emissaries of Sky-God
