From our first CD Argo (Evolving Discs 1996): in honour of an ancient Goddess and her dark Sister, base on a Sumerian liturgy circa 3000 BC.

lyrics

Stone-breaker lurks in the dirt:
Enter Someone who can survive it -
Like a shadow of a curved bow,
Lapus Lazuli there for show
Ninshubar, lacerate your mouth
Raise a shout in Heaven for her -

She go down to the Seven Doors
In the big bright House of the Mountain Lords
So beat your drum in the Holy Shrine
In the big bright House of the Mountain Line:

Inanna! Inanna!
Will they ever listen Ninshubar?
Inanna, Ishtar!
We still reach for You... in Sumer.

Come the beggars, come the daggers -
(Of Ereshkigal)
Who shall be the Captain of my Fate?
Sigkurshagga, Emushkalamma
None shall carry this One away!
(Kalaturru, Kurgarru)
Bring your Sister, bring your Mother
(To Ereshkigal)
Call the Hills for my Wild Bull
(Damuzi, oh my Damuzi!)
See that shippon close in, surround Him -
Tell your Brother things are gonna turn around

When She go down to the Seven Doors
(The Seven Doors)
In the big bright House of the Mountain Lords
(The Mountain Lords)
So beat your drum in the Holy Shrine
(The Holy Shrine)
In the big bright House of the Mountain Line
(The Mountain!)

Inanna! Inanna …
