lyrics

O mighty Ashur
Blessed sovereign
Destroyer of the strong
Lord of the world
Whose glory and dominion none escape

Grant my prayers
Grant the prayers of thy people
The sons of Ashur

In thy name and by thy hand
I laid low the vermin of Suru
I built a pillar over the city gate

I flayed all those chiefs who dared revolt
I covered the pillar with their skin
I walled up some within the pillar

I impaled some upon stakes
Some I bound to those stakes
I cut off the limbs
Of the royal officers who had rebelled
Countless among them I burned with fire
Many I took as living captives
From some I cut off their noses, their ears, their fingers

Of many I put out their eyes
I made one pillar of the living and another of heads
Other heads I bound to tree trunks across the city
Their young men and maidens I burned in the fire
Ash and smoke anointing the monolith
This monument I dedicate to you
O mighty lord

That we may surmount
This road of corpses
A bridge of souls
Paving the way to the
Land of the silver sky
With oil unceasing at the feasts of the gods
In life and bliss everlasting
Such is my prayer to the gods who dwell in the land of Ashur
