Verse 1
Down where the cedar rivers bend
A gate of lapis opened wide
She stepped from morning without end
The underworld pulled at her side
Seven veils across the dark
She walked the staircase made of bone
Her sister's throne of frozen bark
Called her down to lands unknown
Chorus
Ishtar falls the crimson gate
Queen of stars and rising flame
Ishtar wakes the sleeping fate
She returns to sing her name
Verse 2
Abandoned crown on stubborn stone
The shining temple lost its choir
She left the heavens all alone
To walk the road of ash and fire
Chorus
Ishtar falls the crimson gate
Queen of stars and rising flame
Ishtar wakes the sleeping fate
She returns to sing her name
Bridge
Cool black water in her fist
Beneath a sun that never gleams
She grants the dead one final twist
She gives the living back their dreams
Guitar Solo
Chorus
Ishtar falls the crimson gate
Queen of stars and rising flame
Ishtar wakes the sleeping fate
She returns to sing her name
Outro
Mm
Ishtar
