Behold the watchtowers In front of Aratta Uruk pitched camp From the walls javelins were raining down as from a cloud One year the siege lasts ferocity turned to bitterness Enmerkar sends a messenger to Uruk Lugalbanda requests Inanna's advice Between the dunes the horizon will fall down He's running under stars at night Through the mountains the message finds its way Inanna is near within one day Back in Uruk he paces the way of his dreams Inanna I feel you and your presence in my veins Your instructions will surrender the city to us Conquered with blood Only a ritual Of ancient wizardry Can overcome Aratta Uruk will prevail In the siege of Aratta Between the dunes the horizon will fall down He's running under the stars at night Through the mountains the message finds its way Inanna is near within one day
