What To Do With Inanna? Lyrics


												
														   (CHORUS) 



1: What to do with Inanna? 



2: She's gotten out of hand - What to do with Inanna? 



3: She's
trying to invade our land - What to do with Inanna? 



1: I fear
we've lost control - What to do with Inanna? 



2: How can we regain
our hold? 



1: We must try to stop this goddess 

We must take
her down 

Before she controls all our kingdoms 

We must take her
crown 



2: What can tame a raging lion? 

What can hold a
snake? 

She is like a storm that leaves destruction in its wake 



3: We could hold a splendid banquet 

Feed her poisoned meat 

Death would come, and we would have 

Inanna at our feet 



(CHORUS) 



1: We should tie her to a post 

To satisfy our
needs 

Strip her of her royal gown 

And whip her 'til she bleeds




2: We could chain her wrists and ankles 

Take the sharpest
knife 

Heat it 'til the point turns red 

Deprive her of her sight




3: We should drag her to the river 

Drown her in the stream


We should take away her power 

We should take her dreams 



(12 CHORUS) 



1: Storm her city, tear the walls down 

Take
the people to our kingdoms 



2: Smash her temple, kill the
priesthood 

Keep her gold and precious jewels 



1: We should
leave no trace of her city 

Take away the place she calls her home 



3: Treat her like a common criminal 

Sixty lashes across her
back.... 



(REPEAT CHORUS)
