Tracklist

1. Depths of Kur – 04:38 >

I descend to the darkest depths of Kur
As the galla drag me down
Far west in the ancient Zagros Mountains
Far below the Abzu
Dry dust nourishes my mortal soul
The punishment of Ereshkigal
Suffer outside the Great Ganzir
Eternally I wander the depths of Kur

2. Equivocal Life Forms – 03:40 >

Wandering endlessly
Through infinite cavernous void
Stalagmite acid decays
Like other-worldly slime
From familiar earth I am banished
Into this hopeless cavernous planet
Ancient evile creatures
Swarm the caves like vultures
What do these life forms want?
I can sense they’re out for blood
Like a rat, I try to hide
I am the prey
Equivocal life forms feed on human flesh they need

3. Through Caverns Unknown – 04:38 >

Hopelessness and despair
All is lost down here
Time is formless, too cold to bear
All is lost down here

The lava flows.. free my tortured soul
Deep down through Caverns Unknown
As written on the ancient stone, my sins too great to atone
Deep down through Caverns Unknown

As I spite Ganzir, banished to wander for a thousand years
All is lost down here
Body decays while my soul is clear, pain surpassing my deepest fears
All is lost down here

4. Cloud of Souls – 04:20 >

I felt my soul as it wandered away
Over molten volcanoes and hidden caves
I transcended hell to a darker scape
Over molten volcanoes and hidden caves
The lava flowed like a hellish wave
Engulfing the land and turning it grey
A place so desolate nobody escapes
Free my tortured soul, god of darkest caves

The cloud of souls
Scream in agony
As the prophecy told
Destroy the meek

The steam rises
Full of tears
And from Its pain
The hate draws fear

5. Innermost of Being – 06:07 >

In the innermost of Being
There is capacity for hate
And a desire to kill
Like Nergal the Great
I am God of these Mountains
From the Zagros to Taurus
And I will reign my terror
Destroying the weak

Perilous explore the caves
Portals disguised as gates
Deeper into the great Kigal
Will these mirages take

I hear their feeble screams
Crying out in pain
Begging for mercy
I grant them none
For I am Ereshkigal

Destroy the weak
