Lyrics

Remorse
(Enkidu and Gilgamesh return on the river with Humbaba's head and massive trees in tow)

Enkidu:
I feel a little sick, I can't explain, I don't know why
Their eyes are on us
We're fooling no one [Gilgamesh: Your imagination]
We were lawless in the forest
Did you see the sky open up
When the trees we felled
came crashing to the earth? [G: Shamash willed this]

Turn away his head back towards the trees
Can't have his eyes now watching me [G: Your imagination]
A wasteland is the forest
Oh, why won't this river bend?
It's like a betrayer that once was our good friend

What shall they say of us in the future?
Can't you hear them now at the river's edge? [G: Shamash willed this]
"You came across the monster,
but then you went too far!
You gratify yourselves before you gratify the gods"

Gilgamesh: A door for his temple
A door for Enlil
We’ve rid the world of evil!
Enkidu: Yes, that’s so.
