about

Flashing back to the beginning of this story, the city of Uruk is a grand, imposing sight. But the people are suffering, as Gilgamesh is a tyrannical ruler. Can anyone stop him?

lyrics

GILGAMESH:
Come to me
What do you see?
A god among men,what is you plea?
I will not stand
for your demands
I am destined for something grand

THE PEOPLE:
So we look up and cry to the sky
Let the truth cut through these lies
And we look up and cry to the sky
Save us from our demise

GILGAMESH:
Turn your gaze
And Be amazed
The walls around us deserve your praise
It’s by my right
Your daughter and bride
I will take them and you will abide

THE PEOPLE:
So we look up and cry to the sky
Let the truth cut through these lies
And we look up and cry to the sky
Save us from our demise

GILGAMESH:
Why can’t you see?
This is my destiny
Bow down to me
I am your king

THE GODS:
We hear your pleas
From up on high
We will not cast
Your woes aside
The earth shall bear
A fearless man
Who shall bring peace
Unto the land
Whose heart is pure
With body strong
Will claim revenge
For your king’s wrongs
And all will live
In harmony
Forever more
You will be free

We hear your pleas
From up on high
We will not cast
Your woes aside
The earth shall bear
A fearless man
Who shall bring peace
Unto the land
Whose heart is pure
With body strong
Will claim revenge
For your king’s wrongs
And all will live
In harmony
Forever more
You will be free


We hear your pleas
From up on high
We will not cast
Your woes aside
Hold on to hope
Know what you’ve braved
All will be well
You will be saved
