Once the goddess Ishtar went to the underworld
And entered the dark kingdom of her sister
Ishtar tried to trick her and steal the ruler's throne
But she failed and was enslaved
"Pride goes right before the fall
Now you have to face it all
You will not escape my deadly kingdom"
Take her down
Take her down
Take her down to my land of the darkness
Take her down
Take her down
Take her down to eternal damnation
Take her down
In Ishtar's longer absence fertility decreased
And so, the gods gave order to release her
But the law required to send a deputy
So, they choose the god Tammuz
"Queen and goddess of the dead
Hear my plea: take me instead"
Desperate words of his beloved sister
Take me down
Take me down
Take me down to the land of the darkness
Take me down
Take me down
Take me down to eternal damnation
Take me down
Take him down – No!
Take her down – No!
Take both down to the land of the darkness
Take 'em down – Yeah!
Take 'em down – Yeah!
Take 'em down to eternal damnation
Take 'em down
Take 'em down
Take 'em down to the land of the darkness
Take 'em down
Take 'em down
Alternating the time of damnation
Take 'em down
Uh yeah!
