Once the oppressor Of Uruk harsh king Then strongest man that ever was Friends to Enkidu, the savage wise man They stood together Perform many deeds
The Demon, they killed The bull sent by Ishtar’s wrath
He saw the great Mystery He knew the Hidden He recovered the knowledge of all times Before the Hood
He met Utnapishtim The Living One Fried to uncover the secret of life Yet at once He found Himself Old and weak Mortal man
Gained nothing, but pain He knees and weeps
He saw the great Mystery He knew the Hidden He recovered the knowledge of all times Before the Hood
He journeyed beyond the distant Journeyed beyond exhaustion Gilgamesh, half human half God Carved his story on stone
Woe to me! What can I do now? Death is all around me Death has devoured my body my flesh I lost my immortality O Goddess! My Mother! Outstretch your hand! Save me from these pains! We to me! What can I do now? Wherever I look there stands death
Gilgamesh! – He’s the one He’s the one who saw things secret Gilgamesh! – He’s the one He’s the one who heard The Story Lord of wisdom, he saw the abyss And brought back words of the Hood
