Brick by brick
The soil touches the sky
Total submission
To the whip of Eridu
Doomed to suffer anguish
In pain and torment
Dead from inside
Join the slaves of Eridu
Oppressed and battered we dwell in feculence
In filth and mud we're cursed to live with worms and rats
One by one, they died from famine and disease
No hope in the land of arbitrariness
Forced to die in wars which aren't ours
Exploitation is the plague that makes our deathwish come
Strangle me with my chains I can't bear this life
Humiliation is the the misery I have become
Brick by brick
The soil touches the sky
Total submission
To the whip of Eridu
Doomed to suffer anguish
In pain and torment
Dead from inside
Join the slaves of Eridu
Deathwish inside

♪
Through the veil violence and grief
I realize the gods have forsaken me
Buried alive in the ziggurat of Enmerkar
My inglorious fate is death in slavery
Brick by brick
The soil touches the sky
Total submission
To the whip of Eridu
Doomed to suffer anguish
In pain and torment
Dead from inside
Join the slaves of Eridu
