["Marching Annunaki" Intro written and performed by Ashmedi]<br />

<br />

Ia Anu, Ia Antu, Ia Marduk<br />

Ia Ninlil, Ia Enki, Ia Ninki<br />

Ia Nanna, Ia Ningal, Ia Utu<br />

Ia Inanna, Ia Ischkur, Ia Ninhursag<br />

Time has come for Akitu celebration<br />

The equinox of Nisan has arrived... arrived<br />

<br />

[Refrain:]<br />

Until the twelth day our fate shall be sealed,<br />

By the divine counsel our future will be revealed,<br />

As the Annunaki march again<br />

Through Babylon's precious gates<br />

<br />

Sombre chants resound from the ziggurat,<br />

The secret of Esagila is sung before dawn,<br />

From the axis mundi of three cosmic domains<br />

Whisper the words of the Enuma Elish<br />

<br />

[Refrain]<br />

<br />

*Marduk descends into the mountain, until the barques' arrival*<br />

Within the Apzu's maze, bestead by the wailing goddess<br />

Liberated by force through Nabu, great lord of the written word<br />

After his triumphant return is summoned the assemblation<br />

For fate's first determination, through the unequaled<br />

<br />

[Refrain]<br />

<br />

All Babylon goes exultant,<br />

The sheperd of the stars (is) reborn<br />

To perform the sacred marriage rite,<br />

With the daughter of the moonlight For the microcosmic plains,<br />

He determines fate a second time,<br />

As a challenge for mankind,<br />

After the departure of the Nibiru giants
