Ashûr, the patriarch of war
Father of the sun
If god is made earthenware
Waive your faith

Behold the same God of deluge
Pursuing the blood avenger
Ensuing violence, free dissembler

See the walls
Painted with human blood
The winged disc of the sun
Drawn with their thumbs

The sacred symbol of the pagans
Lifts their bodies up
As an offer to Āšūr
Guardian of the Assyrians

The Elamites celebrate
The spirit that the Sumerians immolate
Idols returned by Urtaku
Bloody walls of Lamassu

Ashurbanipal
Son of Esarhaddon
Sennacherib rituals
Fathering a sanguinary grandson
Crowned another basket-bearer
Dead in the hereafter

City of bloodshed, stack of dead
Church of slanderers
Feeding the servants of death
