At the First gate... Ishtar is stripped

Of the jeweled crown... Sitting on her had

At the third gate... Ishtar is robbed

Of the beads and gems... Surrounding her neck



Seven rituals Seven rites

Crushing Seven phases Seven nights

She waits for Ea She waits for release

She waits for ructions She waits for the tease



The dead shall arise and outnumber the living

Realm of Kurnugi will never be denied



Seven hexes Seven Philters

Charming Seven curses Seven nights

For the crimson water for the water of time

For the sacrament for the proper rites



Remember ceremonial forms for her sister?

ERESHKIGAL! ERESHKIGAL!

Recall the spiteful guardian from the gates of ganzir?

IAK SAKKAKH!! IAK SAKKAKH!! IAK SAKKAKH!!!



[Lead: Ashmedi]



At the fifth gate... Ishtar is husked

Of the grinding stones... Supporting heir waist

At the seventh gate... Ishtar is raped

Of the last garment... Covering her body



Descent of Inanna

The underworld's complete

Ancient ones smashing bolts

Reviving the gates

The dead shall arise

and outnumber the living

Realm of Kurnugi

Will never be denied



An eye opens wide as Sultana arrives
