Lyrics Stelae of vultures Nile

Stelae of vultures


I Eannatum of Lagash
Lord of Sumer and Akkad
Son of Akhurgal
Descended from the seed of Ningursu
Subjugator of foreign lands
Made war upon Umma
Sanctioned by the gods

I Eannatum
Like a fierce storm wind
I unleashed the tempest
I stretched forth my clenched fist
With spear and blades of copper
Advanced with chariot and phalanx
Like a fierce storm wind
I unleashed the tempest

I Eannatum
Lion of Lagash

I had been given strength by Enlil
To lay slaughter upon the soldiers of Umma
Though struck by arrow through the eye
I smote th? Ummites slaying them by the thousands
Wh?n they fled the bloodied battlefield

We cut them down
We trampled the helpless beneath our feet
We crushed their skulls
We fed their corpses to the vultures
We cut them down
We fed their corpses to the vultures
Unleash the tempest!

I Eannatum
Lion of Lagash

Born of the seed of Ninngursu
And fed at the breast of Ninhursaga
Like a fierce storm wind
I unleashed the tempest

I did pile into heaps the corpses of the sons of Umma
And did rejoice in the suffering of my enemies
As vultures flew overhead
I Eannatum of Lagash
Like a fierce storm wind I unleashed the tempest
Like a fierce storm wind

Thank you because you correct this lyrics
 
The lyrics STELAE OF VULTURES of NILE is also present in the album The underworld awaits us all (2024)
