lyrics

You tell me dear, I deserve to sleep in the shadows
At the foot of your temple dear
I've slept before these outer walls
Praying to Jupiter
To relieve me of myself
Jupiter, Jupiter, under your reign
I'm crying, don't you hear my name?

I told you, dear, of the time when I became broken
At the foot of your temple dear
Yes, I've slept before these outer walls
Dreaming of your chariot
Drawn by four horses with poison in their mouths
Wielding flood and fire behind you
Rewarded by the gate to God
Rewarded by the gate to God

Rewarded by the gate to God

I'm returning to the city where I was born
So I can live my past
Away from all your written power
That you may let your slaves toil
Build to the sky, the tower of your sin
Marduk, I am just a broken woman
On fertile land
I'm crying, don't you hear my name?
