Empire of the Sun

The hands of my changeling mother
Once nurtured me
In secrecy she weaved a basket of rushes and twigs
So carefully she sealed the lid
Let the Tigris billows carry me downstream

Empire of the sun
Now rise to zenith of unbridled might
No fortress can withstand the arrows of Zababa

Empire of the sun
Now rise from sea to sea, from earth to skies
The Lion Goddess blesses all her sons and daughters

The drawer of water spied my grief
He welcomed me, adopted me
As his gardener my wisdom grew
I discovered the path that leads to the truth
This was the beginning of my rule

Empire of the sun
Now rise to zenith of unbridled might
No fortress can withstand the arrows of Zababa

Empire of the sun
Now rise from sea to sea, from earth to skies
The Lion Goddess blesses all her sons and daughters

Empire of the sun
Now rise from sea to sea
On earth your glory never dies
