Lady, Queen of darkness
Ereshkigal the ruler of the dead
Bound to her dark kingdom
The gods sent out an envoy to her realm
When Erra heard her call
He entered her great hall
And fell in love at first sight
When immortal hearts of two gods collide
The desires will not be satisfied
And the days passed in numinous delight
On the seventh day
Erra said goodbye
He had to obey
The gods from on high
And the lady was left alone
As ruler of the dead
Erra full of sorrow
He climbed up the stairway to the gods
Right in front of Anu
He begged to let him urgently return
Ereshkigal despaired
And urgently prepared
A message for the high gods
When immortal hearts of two gods collide
The desires will not be satisfied
And the days passed in numinous delight
On the seventh day
Erra said goodbye
He had to obey
The gods from on high
And the lady was left alone
As ruler of the dead
"Let him return
My grief will turn to anger
My heart will burn
I'll send the dead upon the earth"
When immortal hearts of two gods collide
The desires will not be satisfied
And the days passed in numinous delight
On the seventh day
There was no goodbye
He was allowed to stay
By the gods on high
And the lovers they had become
The rulers of the dead
