Nile - Defiling the Gates of Ishtar Lyrics

Artist: Nile

Album: Miscellaneous

  • Songwriters: Rod Mckuen

Impure am I
Impure I spill my seed
Upon barren earth
And spit in the face of the Goddess

Unclean am I
Unclean I copulate
With the hands of the God
And defile the gates of Ishtar

Unblessed am I
Unrepentant
Defiant

Buh Luh Uh
Si il Inanna
As Gi Su Ak
Gis Tes
Gis Tes

Unwashed am I
Unwashed I lay violent hands
Upon the Altar of the Goddess

In filth I lay
In filth I desecrate
And profane the Temple of Ishtar
And blaspheme in the presence of whores

Baad Angarru
Ninnghizzhidda

Open the gate that I may enter
Open
Lest I attack the gate
Open
Lest I break down the walls

Open the gate
Lest I 'cause the dead to outnumber the living
Open the gate
Lest I 'cause the dead to rise and devour the living
