Uruk

Chant:
Brick by Brick, stone by stone, we build Uruk, it is our home
Chant:
Inanna, Inanna, child of the Moon God
Spoken:
On her smooth brow she paints fire beams and fearsome glint
Fastens carnelian, blood red and glowing around her throat
And then her hand clasps the seven-headed mace
Steps, yes, she steps her narrow foot on the furred back of a wild lapis lazuli bull
And she goes out, white sparked, radiant
In the dark vault of the evening sky
Star-steps in the street through the Gate of Wonder.
Chant:
I, Innanna, circling the sky, circling the Earth
I, the Lady, circling the sky, circling the Earth
