Mesopotamia

Drying off, back on our feet
Did my time, took my chances
Saw the drought, knew the gods were mad
Just a man and his will to survive
So many votives praying for me
You trade your time for grace
Don't lose your grip over people Naram
You must fight just to keep your power

It's the land of the Tigris, the help of Euphrates
Risin' up to the challenge of our rivals
And the last known survivor will go down in history
Because now we have writing in cuneiform

Beast to beast, guard of the gate
Hangin' tough, stayin' hungry
They twist perspective with composite Lamassu
With five legs to protect Sargon’s palace

It's the lapis lazuli, it's the thrill of the narrative
Risin' up in the war of Standard of Ur
And greatness is shown in hierarchy of scale
And he's watchin' us all with the eye of twisted perspective

Hammurabi, hangin with gods
Eye for an eye, tooth for a tooth
Now with laws, there is equality
But not really ‘cause hierarchy

It's the land of the Tigris, it's the help of Euphrates
Risin' up to the challenge of our rivals
And the last known survivor will go down in history
Because now we have writing in cuneiform
Mesopotamia
