Testament Ishtars Gate Lyrics

[Verse 1]
A goddess of both love and war
The lion and the star
Safe behind the golden gates
Protection from this world

[Chorus]
Queen of the underworld
Long may she reign
Queen of nocturnal wars
Obey
You've gotta hold on
It won't be long
A kingdom without a crown
Blood stains the walls of Babylon

[Verse 2]
Protected by the demi Gods
The Dragon and the Bull
Symbolic of aggressive forces
Lock the golden eight

[Chorus]
Queen of the underworld Long may she reign
Queen of nocturnal wars
Obey
You've gotta hold on
It won't be long
A king without his throne
Blood stained the walls of Babylon

[Bridge]
A kingdom built to last forever
Purify the blood of the slaves
For Ishtar's Gate

[Chorus]
Queen of the underworld
Long may she reign
Queen of nocturnal wars
Obey
You've gotta hold on
It won't be long
A kingdom without a crown
Eight gates protecting Babylon
