Inanna - The Opera - 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)
