Gidim Hul (Bloodthirst of the Demonic Dead) Lyrics

Etemmu neglected in funerary rites,
The ghosts rise from their graves
A blood meal to take souls for eternal life
Haunting between the world of living and dead

Anzagar, by nightmares!
Ahhazu, seizing demon before me!
Hajjatu-demons, we drink the blood
Shulak, Lilitu, Rabisu!

Gidim-hul, blood thirst of the dead
Rabisu, hear me!
Mimma Lemnu hear me!
Sedu hear me!

The grave transformed this ghost,
growing thirsty for living blood
Feed and prey upon mankind, drink their souls!
Arali did not contain me, I rise from the tomb.
Dust and darkness are my way, the winds of raven's flight

Some have forgotten, hunger strikes and my spirit twists
Etemmu thirst for blood, become as Udug-hul
Gidim-hul, haunt and torment,
Drink the soul dry,
Blood be spilt, may the dead lap up the blood

Gidim-hul, blood thirst of the dead
Rabisu, hear me!
Mimma Lemnu hear me!
Sedu hear me!

Pestilence and Plague powers of Namtar
Nergal Lord of the Underworld
We are of the Netherworld
Inflict the living with disease
Striking the mortal flesh with blood-shadows
