Gilgamesh

[Verse 1] In Uruk’s ancient city, the mighty walls rise, King Gilgamesh rules, with power in his eyes. Born of a goddess, part divine, part man, Seeking great adventures, far across the land. [Chorus] Gilgamesh, Gilgamesh, hero of the old, In epic tales of courage, his legend is told. With Enkidu, his brother, through danger they trod, Facing beasts and gods, defying mortal odds. [Verse 2] Enkidu from the wild, a friend so brave, Together they ventured, beyond the forest grave. To the Cedar Forest, where Humbaba roared, They felled the giant guardian, their spirits soared. [Chorus] Gilgamesh, Gilgamesh, hero of the old, In epic tales of courage, his legend is told. With Enkidu, his brother, through danger they trod, Facing beasts and gods, defying mortal odds. [Bridge] Ishtar’s wrath descended, the Bull of Heaven’s might, But even this fierce creature, fell to their fight. Enkidu’s death then struck, with sorrow and despair, Gilgamesh sought life’s secret, in a journey rare. [Verse 3] To the far-off lands, and the seas so deep, He searched for Utnapishtim, where mysteries sleep. The tale of the flood, the quest for eternal breath, Yet found wisdom in life, not in escaping death. [Chorus] Gilgamesh, Gilgamesh, hero of the old, In epic tales of courage, his legend is told. With Enkidu, his brother, through danger they trod, Facing beasts and gods, defying mortal odds. [Outro] Uruk’s walls still stand, as time marches on, Gilgamesh’s tale lives, in the twilight and dawn. A king who sought wisdom, his story remains, In the heart of his city, where legacy reigns.
