Pazuzu Pass me the torch of night Son of Hanbi, thy might! Lift my mind on your wings Flapping shadows they bring Clouds of sleep are breathing dreams The shortest straw of future seeds Let worlds below my path expose Through secrets deep where mountains darker rose Demon of old Babylon A shield before the wrath of gods Save me from winds of the west Once born in the land of the dead Old tongues speak and demand (Rise and descend!) Fruits of all that I am Travel through the abyss (Start at the end!) Just like time from the crypts Silence bleed unearthly light Behold – Pazuzu will arise! Tomorrow shall disperse the signs Where every trail away was swept by time Demon of old Babylon A shield before the wrath of gods Save me from winds of the west Once born in the land of the dead Storm bring Pazuzu! Leave Pazunia! Breath clouds of poison! Breath through the portals! 12. Aeon of Maat (Alternative Vocals Version) 13. Pazuzu (AOR Version)
