Bringer of War

When on high no name was given to heaven — Nor below was
the netherworld called by name — Apsu was their progenitor and
Tiamat was she who bore them all
Gigim Xul! Uggae! Evil spirit! God of death!
They were mingling their waters together — No cane brake was
intertwined — Nor thicket matted close — When no gods at all
had been brought forth — None called by names, no destinies
ordained — Then were the gods formed within these two
In the cella of destinies — The abode of designs — The most
capable, the sage of the gods — The Lord was begotten —
The mighty firstborn — Champion of his father — Hastener to
battle — The warrior — Marduk!
In the midst of Apsu Marduk was formed — In the midst of
holy Apsu was Marduk formed!
Gigim Xul! Uggae! Evil spirit! God of death!
