Therion - Nocturnal Light lyrics

Nocturnal light

Goddess Inanna, the beauty of Venus
You travel our minds and the sky
Ruler of heavens
On ground of Eanna be praised!
Mighty Inanna, the spirit of warfare
To Babylon open your gate
Fruit's of your wisdom seeds will
Bring birth to this day

Where there was nothing, kingdom of the void
Threshold to forever await's and will unfold

Nocturnal light dark empress keep
It flowing through your secret womb
Nocturnal light bury the ashes of time
Where the angels in silence divine
Face the dawn, so nocturnal and bright

Down to your sister Ereshkigals
Kingdom, the netherworld, you now descend
Gates there are seven and stripped
Of your power you dwell
Saved by your husband with sister beside him
They will now be taking your place
Granting you freedom
Sharing the months of the year

Nocturnal light dark empress keep
It flowing through your secret womb
Nocturnal light bury the ashes of time
Where the angels in silence divine
Face the dawn, so nocturnal and bright

Deep in the darkness, your husband Dumuzi
The God of what flourish above
Now all in his absence
Has turned into winter
And summer will mark his return

Nocturnal light!

Nocturnal light dark empress keep
It flowing through your secret womb
Nocturnal light bring back your time
The fall of night Inanna rise!
Nocturnal light flow from your
Lust to the seas

Of every man inanna rise!
