Nocturnal Light - Therion

作词 : Per Albinsson
作曲 : Christofer Johnsson
Nocturnal light – Ah
Godess 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.
Deep in the darkness, your husband Dumuzi, the God of what flourish above,
now all in his absence has turned into winter and summer will mark his return.
Nocturnal light!
Nocturnal light – dark empress keep
it flowing through your secret womb.
Nocturnal light – bring back your time,
the fall of night –Inanna rise!
Nocturnal light – flow from your lust to the seas
of every man – Inanna rise!
