EA: Queen Inanna, step into my room

Shake off the darkness, shake off the gloom

Have a seat, my dear, and talk a while



Tell me, lady, what brings you here?



INANNA: It's been so long, it feels like years



EA: Oh, Inanna, it's good to see you smile

Have a drink with me



Come and feast at this table laden

With foods of love that would tempt any maiden



INANNA: Oh, Ea, I've always liked your style

You know how to make me smile



EA: Taste these fruits, accept these flowers

I could talk to you for hours

I would love to hear what's on your mind



Have a cup of wine



INANNA: I've been told that you possess directions

To make a city realize perfection



EA: Is that the reason, Inanna, that you've come here?



INANNA: Would you be a dear?



EA: Here is the crown, the staff and sceptre...



INANNA: ...Have more wine, for it's as sweet as nectar



EA: Lady, I'm already drunk upon your charms

Come into my arms



INANNA: And what is this?



EA: It is the information

Needed by the gods to raise a nation

To such heights, that it before has never seen



Are you from my dreams?



This reveals the rites of temples

Writing and the fundamentals

Of music, and of art and masonry

How to weave and work with metal

Oh, your skin is like a petal....



INANNA: Oh, Ea, you're looking tired

Come and lie with me beside the fire

By the way, could you make a gift of this?



EA: It's yours for just one kiss....
