Spirit Descent The Plant of Life lyrics

“There is sadness on your mind
On the path you have been wandering you dreamed of life beyond
Yet you know I did survive the flood, your face is carved in fear
The answer you would find could end your dream“

„Now take a rest and go to sleep, my wife prepars a meal for you
Then we`ll find out what is torturing your soul“

After seven days and nights he finds himself alive
In a land so far away from truth and lies
So there he stood again, a legend and a god
He was offering eternity

„I will tell you what I know about the secret of the gods
There`s a plant down in the ocean`s hand
Its thorns may cut your flesh but the hour of rebirth
Returns to you forevermore“


And he sank down like a stone and he cut the plant of life
Absolution in his hand

(Gilgamesh' thoughts of triumph)

„At the end of my journey the stars shine so bright
I`m in hold of the secret on this very night
And my friend will await me on the trail of the dead
Life and death have no boundaries, like I always said

I will enter the circle, take my place in the sky
Where the gods will await me , I will never die
And an old man will turn into a young boy at last
For I will take a trip into my fading past“
