Asleep for countless centuries

Beneath the endless sands of time

'Til excavations did unearth my bones and ruins

I now reclaim what once was mine

Ishtar rise

Lost are the temple of Sin

Shamash and Nergal

No one will ever kneel before Ashur's altar

No longer sacrifices t Nabiu - Ninurta

Forever bow before the great goddess Ishtar

I bring the truth - Sweep lies away

This time forever I will stay - Within - Beyond her gates

Regain what once was mine - Beyond the sands of time

Regain what once was mine Ishtar rise

Regain what once was mine - Beyond the sands of time

Regain what once was mine - Behold

Ishtar rise

Besieged and saced in 612 BC

Razed to the ground - My sacred and divine city

Defeated by their rites

But now with wrath I rise from pits and from earth piles

I bring the truth - Sweep lies away

This time forever I will stay - Within - Beyond her gates

Regain what once was mine - Beyond the sands of time

Regain what once was mine Ishtar rise

Regain what once was mine - Beyond the sands of time

Regain what once was mine - Behold

Ishtar rise

You must return to me

The breechcloth for my body

The clasps for my hands and feet

The birthstone girdle for my hips

The ornaments for my breasts

The chains for my neck

The pendance for my ears

The great crown for my head
