Rise

Metal, Dark Metal, Female Vocals, Anunnaki, Underworld. Lyrics by Mary Ennisgirl below.
RISE
[Verse 1]
Sand in my eyes
Names carved in clay
Memories of Sumer
Never washed away
Ninhursag breathing
Into broken stone
Enki in the water
Calling me home
Anu in the thunder
Gilgamesh in dreams
Old gods watching
Through the seams
Inanna in my spirit home
It’s her that I feel
Underworld doorway
Starting to peel
 
[Chorus]
For she loved the whole wide world
Every wound
Every war-torn girl
Held the ashes
Kissed the sin
Til she found the spark within
A new Earth begins in my heart (oh)
I am the chalice
I am the well
Holding the Holy Grail
And I rise
And I rise from hell
 
[Verse 2]
Lilith on the hilltop
Hair full of night
Tattoos of constellations
Flickering light
She says
“Child of the Anunnaki
You are not small”
Your blood remembers
Every fall
 Skies split open
Dust turns to rain
Cities of ziggurats
Grow out of pain
I touch the tablets
Letters catch fire
Future and ancient
Share the same choir (hey!)
 
[Chorus]
For she loved the whole wide world
Every wound
Every war-torn girl
Held the ashes
Kissed the sin
Til she found the spark within
A new Earth begins in my heart (oh)
I am the chalice
I am the well
Holding the Holy Grail
And I rise
And I rise from hell

[Instrumental]
 
[Bridge]
Underworld gardens
Roots made of gold
Stories the priests
Were too scared to hold
She says
“Drink deep
Remember your name”
The first and the last
Are one and the same
 
[Chorus]
For she loved the whole wide world
Every wound
Every war-torn girl
Held the ashes
Kissed the sin
Til she found the spark within
A new Earth begins in my heart (yeah)
I am the chalice
I am the well
Holding the Holy Grail
Watch me rise
Watch me rise from hell
 
[Outro]
Soft as a sunrise
Louder than fear
The old codes returning
The new Earth is here
