lyrics

Towering giant
King of all the land
The wild ox Gilgamesh
Holds Uruk in his hand

Challenged once by Enkidu
Now friends eternally
Killed the forest Huwawa
Yet never meant to be

Now seeks Utnapishtim
By mountain pass and sea
Beseeches the old man for
The secret gods glory

Once favored by the gods
Shuruppak is now destroyed
Who then was Gilgamesh
To ask of their employ?

Returning to Uruk
No immortality
Yet still we know his name
Gilgamesh, the king

Man is not eternal
Forever doomed to die
Our story is our legacy
Surviving time's tide
