Gilgamesh

Gilgamesh

Gilgamesh

Gilgamesh

[Verse 1: Ambrose Kenny-Smith]

A fiery temper

Stranded in the deadly blender

Weeping human clay

No surrender

The pale death-threat sender leading him astray

Ferocious, slaying feuds to gain the fame

He's left to fend and hold the reins

He can't protect the wolf-pack from the sun-god Shamash combat

[Chorus]

Gilgamesh

I vow to disembowel

The battle begins, the heavens turn to darkness

Gilgamesh

[Verse 2: Stu Mackenzie, Ambrose Kenny-Smith]

Five visions of biblical downpour

Tearing the rags and hairs tossed to the river beds

Fire-breathing warblers perched on fallen

A prayer of shelter from the peaks

[Refrain]

Gilgamesh

Gilgamesh

Gilgamesh

Gilgamesh

[Verse 3: Stu Mackenzie]

Glorious photon

Invisible traveler

Light and energy

Galaxies zooming past you

A particle pure

Magnificent one

Emitting glow

Shining

How long must I journey on?

[Verse 4: Stu Mackenzie, Ambrose Kenny-Smith]

Bone-dried swamplands swallow me

The lion skins are wearing thin

The passing scorpions guarding

Wandering wild with passing misery

The key to immortality

[Verse 5: Stu Mackenzie]

House of dust, land of bone

I ate dirt, I drank stone

Beneath the razorback

Wished to be insomniac

Swam the flood, cleansed my sins

And flew on thirteen winds

Gemstone trees and scorpions

Did it all, lived my dreams

Now I see man's folly

Killed the bull, crossed the sea

Come on, snake, punish me

For immortality

[Verse 6: Stu Mackenzie]

Great and ancient light

Infinite distance

Leaving its birthplace

Going on adventures

A galaxy spinning

Many sights unseen

Endless aeons

Space, an unbroken chain

Hear my name

[Refrain]

Gilgamesh
