Philip Glass – Attack And Fall lyrics

Lim-lik-mi sha-ri a-na ma-ti-shu
Khal-kat mat sha-ri Ga-ba-sha
Tsa-na-ta-ni nu-kur-tu a-na ya-shi
A-di ma-ta-ti She-eri Gin-Ti-kir-mil
shal-nu a-na gab-bi kha-zi-a-nu-ti
u nu-kur-tu a-na ya-shi.

Ip-sha-ti e-nu-ma a-mel a-mi-ri
u-l a-mar i-na sha-ri be-li-ya
ki nu-kur-tu
a-na mukh-khi-ya shak-na-ti

E-nu-ma e-lip-pa i-na lib-bi tam-ti
kat sha-ri dan-na-tu
Ti-lik-ki Nakh-ri-ma u kapa-si
u i-nan-na a-la-ni sha-ri
Ti-li-ki-u Kha-bi-ru
Ya-nu-mi ish-ten kha-zi-a-nu
a-na sha-ri be-li-ya khal-ku gab-bu

Let the king care for his land
The land of the king will be lost
All of it will be taken from me
There is hostility to me.
As far as the lands of Seir even to Carmel,
There is peace to all the regents.

But to me there is hostility
Although a man sees the facts
Yet the two eyes of the king, my lord, do not see
For hostility is firm against me.

As sure as there is a ship in the midst of the sea
The might arm of the king
Will seize Nahrima and Kapasi.
But now the Apiru are taking
The cities of the king.
No regent is left to the king, my lord,
All are lost.
