Testo Nocturnal Light - Therion

Nocturnal Light

Nocturnal light — ah
Goddess Inanna, the beauty of Venus, you travel our minds and the sky
Ruler of heavens, on ground of Eanna be praised!
Mighty Inanna, the spirit of warfare, to Babylon open your gate
Fruits of your wisdom — seeds will bring birth to this day
Where there was nothing, kingdom of the void
Threshold to forever awaits and will unfold
Nocturnal light — dark empress keep
It flowing through your secret womb
Nocturnal light — bury the ashes of time
Where the angels in silence divine
Face the dawn, so nocturnal and bright
Down to your sister Ereshkigals kingdom, the netherworld, you now descend
Gates there are seven and stripped of your power you dwell
Saved by your husband with sister beside him, they will now be taking your place
Granting you freedom, sharing the months of the year
Nocturnal light — dark empress keep
It flowing through your secret womb
Nocturnal light — bury the ashes of time
Where the angels in silence divine
Face the dawn, so nocturnal and bright
