Benevolence lyrics

INANNA: Oh my lonely wild-growing tree

Your roots are strong, but, what about me?

Homeless, hopeless, how could this be?

Lost without my love, Dumuzi



Oh my lonely wild-growing tree

How I long for a palace by the sea

A temple of stone that moves the sky

Or I fear that my broken heart will die....



Oh, I`m feeling lost inside

Oh, I`ve got no place to hide

Oh, I can`t forget their cruelty

Or the way they`ve taken my love from me



How could I be so blind

Fall for their tricks this time?



If I could have a place to call my own

Across the world I would not have to roam

To find the things that make me feel I have some worth

Like you, I`d plant myself firmly in the earth



ANU: My dear Inanna, I`ve heard your cries

They fill the clouds with tears that fall down from the skies

It`s good to see you safe, but not in all this pain

Don`t you understand, it`s good to have you back again



INANNA: But what is life, my god, Anu our king

Without Dumuzi? My heart no longer sings

And I have nowhere to lay my head

Those that hate me have taken my golden bed



ANU: My great-great-granddaughter, do not despair

Brush the twigs and leaves out of your hair

A temple you shall have, with stones that touch the sky

For it hurts me so, to see you cry
