Yamatu Ishkur Egishnugal: Harasag Zalazalag Lyrics

The Ensi of Khem I shalt seek, to the Esharra of Ningishzidda I set thy course. Harsag Zalazalag. Thy shudadaku summons thee from the Ekur. Thy blood calls unto the keeper of the scrolls. Your darkness is as the Duga of Abzu. Hail great prince of the waters. Doth thou knowest the Asar? Art thou naught borne of Enki, lord of the earth, and they queen Ereshkigal, princess of the mighty deep? In the Abzu thou were borne. In the burning caverns of Gibil thou were taught the ways of the Shurpu. By the twofold staff of thou mother thou were brought unto the scrolls of the foundation. Its speech has been carried through time within the eyes of Asaru, dragon of the Abzu. Ekhi Tiamatu. For its power is twofold. For, is naught the power, the Tammabukku, dragons of the Masshu? Ekhi Firik, Ekhi Pirik! Those whom make perfect the ores of the Apzu? Ekhi Magurunuabzu! Take me to the Emush so that I might return to the Eengurra. So that the gishtil may seem as nothing to thee. Take me to the eyes of Asaru, you whose pure hand is outstretched. Distill unto thy naked vessel the essence of the stone.
...and with a fiery breath, the azag of Emush spoke, lord Ningishzidda spoke unto they ear..."to the beru of Nisannu set thou pace, the tides of Kingu calleth thou."
