Tracklist

  • 1. Sun-God (04:00)
     copy
    Marduk the wisest, the sage of the gods
    Was born from the womb of the elder blood
    Goddesses reared him and filled him with force
    He grew up - impressive and tall

    Strong was his body and strong was his mind
    His power was truly remarkable
    Four pair of eyes, also four pair of ears
    And fire shot forth from his mouth

    Praised by the younger gods
    Praised for his temper

    You’re the greatest of all
    You are all of the great
    You’re the great lord of cardinal winds

    You’re a son of the gods
    You’re a god of the sun
    You’re the Sun-god - the mari-utu

    Marduk created a great heavy storm
    And woke up the old mother Tiamat
    Badly disturbed by the violent waves
    She flew into terrible rage

    Cursed by the ancient gods
    Cursed for his temper
  • 2. King of Gods (04:26)
     copy
    [Verse 1]
    After the glorious battle
    Where Marduk destroyed Tiamat
    He split her body into several parts
    And created Earth and Heaven
    Next came celestial bodies
    The sun and the moon and the stars
    All he designed in an everlasting circle of the year

    [Pre-Chorus]
    All the gods were stunned
    By his splendid majesty
    And so they started praising

    [Chorus]
    Hail, hail, king of gods
    Marduk the creator
    Hail, hail, king of gods
    No one will bе greater
    Hail, hail, king of gods
    Reinforcе and guide us
    Hail, hail, king of gods
    Praise the new and holy king

    [Verse 2]
    "Bring me this devilish traitor
    Qingu will pay for his deeds
    Out of his blood we'll create the first men
    To impose on them our burden"
    After creation of mankind
    Marduk took rest from his work
    He settled down in his "Esagil" in holy Babylon
    [Pre-Chorus]
    All the gods were stunned
    By his splendid majesty
    And so they started praising

    [Chorus]
    Hail, hail, king of gods
    Marduk the creator
    Hail, hail, king of gods
    No one will be greater
    Hail, hail, king of gods
    Reinforce and guide us
    Hail, hail, king of gods
    Praise the new and holy king

    [Bridge]
    These were the tales
    These were the tales of Marduk's rise
    And how he built his great kingdom
    Spread all the tales
    Spread all the tales into the world
    Spread all the tales until the end of time

    [Chorus]
    Hail, hail, king of gods
    Marduk the creator
    Hail, hail, king of gods
    No one will be greater
    Hail, hail, king of gods
    Reinforce and guide us
    Hail, hail, king of gods
    Praise the new and holy king
  • 3. Aeon Gods (05:23)
     copy
    In a time without a name, long before mankind
    There happened a great battle of the gods
    Marduk and his followers they were well prepared
    To fight against the army of Tiamat

    AEON GODS

    Marduk ruled the elements - weapons of a god
    His seven winds created a great storm
    He assembled all his troops - ready to attack
    And marched against the evil Tiamat

    When she saw it coming - an army of the gods
    She cursed her crawling counsellors in anger

    When the battle troops unite
    At early morning light
    We raise our golden banners
    And stand up for the fight
    See the lightning in the sky
    Hear the thunder of the storm
    Cause we fight as AEON GODS

    The campaign went back and forth - no one could prevail
    So, the final fight was imminent
    Marduk blew the Evil Wind straight against Tiamat
    And killed her with an arrow through her heart

    The enemies surrendered and begged to save their lives
    The victory of Marduk raised his glory
  • 4. Babylon Burning (05:01)
     copy
    [Verse 1]

    I need to rest for a hundred nights"

    And Erra offered to assume control

    [Verse 2]
    "Let me take over all your reign
    I will take care of your domain"
    The god of war betrayed the king of gods
    And turned against the holy Babylon

    [Chorus]
    Burning, all is burning
    Fire and chaos around
    Burning, all is burning
    Babylon blazed to the ground

    [Verse 3]
    "Hundreds of years I have lived in peace
    Now I am thirsty for blood
    I will not spare humankind
    And devastate each of their kind"
    Ereshkigal tried to calm Erra's rage
    But she could not prevent thе god from
    [Chorus]
    Burning, all is burning
    Fire and chaos around
    Burning, all is burning
    Babylon blazed to the ground

    [Bridge]
    "Blind with ragе, I killed them all
    The good and bad alike
    I realize the misery
    That caused my raging strike"

    [Chorus]
    Burning, all was burning
    Bright is the future ahead
    Burning, all was burning
    Babylon rose from the dead
  • 5. Enlil's Commands (The Flood Pt. I) (05:30)
     copy
    [Verse 1]
    Centuries after mankind came to light
    Countless man filled the earth
    Enlil the high god grew restless at night
    And his temper turned into anger

    [Verse 2]
    The noise of mankind has disrupted my sleep
    Why have they grown so large?
    Humans are nothing but clamorous sheep
    We will end their insane existence

    [Chorus]
    A solution is close at hand
    It is mine to restore our order
    I will give you one last command
    To annihilate all mankind

    First, I will hold back the annual rain
    And dry out their fertile land
    Once all the humans are starving in pain
    I will send out a mortal fever

    [Chorus]
    A solution is close at hand
    It is mine to restore our order
    I will give you one last command
    To annihilate all mankind
    [Bridge]
    Resistant was the human blood
    Towards the relentless deadly plagues
    (Enlil, mercy, mercy)
    (Enlil, save us all)
    Finally, I'll create a flood
    To bring back peace for our sake

    [Chorus]
    A solution is close at hand
    It is mine to restore our order
    I will give you one last command
    To annihilate all mankind
  • 6. Nintu's Lament (The Flood Pt. II) (04:13)
     copy
    [Verse 1]
    Darkness hid the daylight when the flood began
    Meant to seal the fate of every man
    All the gods were frightened by the awful doom
    So they ran for shelter in the Goddess' womb

    [Pre-Chorus]
    In Nintu's eyes
    All sorrow lies
    And endless pain

    [Chorus]
    When the daylight awakened
    All my children had died
    Washed away by the flood, I am stained by their blood
    I can't stop to weep and to cry

    [Verse 2]
    How could our hearts turn into solid stone?
    Now we have to bear the blame all alone
    How can I continue when my tears have dried?
    Walk around the wasteland where my children died?

    [Pre-Chorus]
    What have I done?
    There is no one
    To end this pain
    [Chorus]
    When the daylight awakened
    All my children had died
    Washed away by the flood, I am stained by their blood
    I can't stop to weep and to cry

    [Bridge]
    I am bound to their fate
    I will carry this weight
    In the name of the fallen ones

    [Chorus]
    When the daylight awakened
    All my children had died
    Washed away by the flood, I am stained by their blood
    I can't stop to weep and to cry

    [Outro]
    After days of deep mourning
    A big ark came in sight
    They survived the great flood
    And preserved human blood
    There is hope
    The hope for a new life
  • 7. Enki's Grace (The Flood Pt. III) (03:50)
     copy
    [Verse 1]
    In the blink of an eye
    He sentenced to die
    The whole mankind
    But I will not support Enlil's command
    My loyal servants, be aware

    [Chorus]
    And so the water's rising higher
    All living beings are left behind
    The human fate is lost and dire
    But I will save the humankind

    [Verse 2]
    Go and build a great boat
    To save all your kin
    And all living things
    Be prepared for the flood to last seven days
    Until you'll reach your future home

    [Chorus]
    And so the water's rising higher
    All living beings are left bеhind
    The human fate is lost and dire
    But I will savе the humankind
    [Bridge]
    Enlil, calm down, I have a plan
    To limit man's existence
    Mortality and deadly disease
    Will be humans' fate henceforth

    [Outro]
    The waters stopped rising higher
    All can return into their place
    The human fate was lost and dire
    But has been saved by Enki's grace
    The waters stopped rising higher
    Enki has saved the humankind
    This is the covenant between the gods and men

    Now you have to face it all
    You will not escape my deadly kingdom"

    Take her down to my land of the darkness

    Take her down to eternal damnation
    Take her down

    In Ishtar's longer absence fertility decreased
    And so the gods gave order to release her
    But the law required to send a deputy
    So they choose the god Tammuz

    "Queen and goddess of the dead
    Hear my plea, take me instead"
    Desperate words of his beloved sister

    Take 'em down

    The mighty invinciblе Anzu
    So they beseeched thе mother of gods
    To bear a powerful hero-god

    Enlil lost his sacred gift
    Who will be the demon slayer

    No one had gained control
    But finally, Ninurta
    Could kill the Anzu bird

    [Chorus]
    By the hands of a betrayer
    Enlil lost his sacred gift
    But Ninurta was the slayer
    And returned the Tablet of Destinies

«King of Gods» - inspired by Babylonian legends - invites listeners to immerse themselves in epic divine battles, where celestial forces clash and destinies are forged. At the heart of the narrative is Marduk, born of ancient blood, whose four pairs of eyes pierce through time and whose flames from the mouth rend chaos asunder. His triumph over Tiamat, split into sky and earth, marks the dawn of a new era, where the sun, stars, and moon weave into an eternal dance of celestial light. Yet victory breeds trials: the creation of humans from treacherous blood, the wrath of Erra, who reduces Babylon to ash, and the deluge that washes away the gods' sins yet leaves a wound in the heart of Nintu herself.

This is a story of divine will twisting into curse, and sacrifice igniting the embers of hope. The soundscape intertwines the fury of storms with the silence of deserts, where even the weeping of gods transforms into hymns of rebirth. Here, petty passions hold no sway - only the eternal clash of creation and decay, where every myth mirrors eternity, and every choral cry echoes the ancient heavens.
