Verse One
So many of us
Representing love
Aphrodite, Isis, Lilith, Nanna
Tammuz too
Astaroth, Astarte
Hathor, Turan
So many of us prove
Without love you lose
Verse Two
Coming back through the first gate she got back her dress
second gate were the clasps for her hands and feet.
third gate the birthstone belt was returned
fourth gate ornaments for her breasts were re-earned.
fifth gate chains for her neck.
Didn’t lose anything yet - it was all low tech
sixth gate earrings, seventh the great crown for her head
Emerging from the underworld no longer dead
Verse Three
As for Tammuz, in truth
the lover of her youth,
Wash him with pure water, anoint him with sweet oil
He can pay the price now it’s time for him to toil
