Melechesh - Apkallu Counsel lyrics

[Music: Al'Hazred, Ashmedi, Moloch / Lyrics: Proscriptor]

Ea rewards the Sages with seven gems

Each is stamped onto copper and burnished gold

Ea melts defined sigils into magic squares

As the cyclones of water start to rise

[Ea:]

"Now, you are emerging from the voids of Apsu

Your law will shelter the gifts of enchantment

But when the silhouettes of the icons appear

(The) five deities of planets will stalk below"

Tempests break through as Ishtar arrives

Wer and imsuhhu as a unit collide

Stones fall to pieces as Nabu becomes visible

Shulpae leads the others into confiscation

[Ea:]

"As I flood the fresh water with my insight,

Symbols sculpt and carve the charms with my rule

As I stand before the set of deities

I rape magnetic charge from their earthy path"

He went through gates of fate

According to cuneiforms

It said Dreamers observed

To find him crown the shrine:

"While we gave your wisdom to the far-sighted

We beheld Ea falling in the Apsu."
