Whoever heard of Ashurbanipal
Taming lion cubs when he was small
Wet clay scratchings on the palace walls
Through the cracks they fall
Ashurbanipal
If you never heard about Ashurbanipal
I will sing of a long dead king
King of the four corners of the earth
King of the universe
His kingdom's long gone to the scorpions
Piles of dust and crumbling bricks
Rubble and debris of antiquity
That belongs to nobody
Dunes and drifts, moon frosted cliffs
Cold barren rock
Scorched and fried, enflamed by the skies violent episodes
Every child has heard about lions
Every child knows how to roar
Every child has heard of the Lion King
Not so Ashurbanipal
Who the hell is Ashurbanipal
