In times of the dawn the council of gods
Had named the lord of the cosmos
An item was made for Enlil's command
To bring unlimited force
Anzu the demon storm-bird was born
With wings and the head of a lion
Engaged to protect the lord of gods
He snatched the Tablet of Destinies
By the hands of a betrayer
Enlil lost his sacred gift
Who will be the demon slayer
And return the Tablet of Destinies
Several gods refused to attack
The mighty, invincible Anzu
So, they beseeched the mother of gods
To bear a powerful hero-god
By the hands of a betrayer
Enlil lost his sacred gift
Who will be the demon slayer
And return the Tablet of Destinies
In wild, destructive battle
No one had gained control
But finally, Ninurta
Could kill the Anzu bird
By the hands of a betrayer
Enlil lost his sacred gift
But Ninurta was the slayer
And returned the Tablet of Destinies
