[Verse 1] I am the storm lord The order restorer Four-eyed beholder Flame-lipped exploder Born in the Apsu Where wisdom grew deeper I rose from the cradle With terror in features Son of the sun god I stood with the strong I seized the Tablet And claimed what was mine Took kingship from chaos In victory divine With net made of winds And the evil wind howling I trapped the great serpent While thunder kept growling [Pre-Chorus] She opened her maw Like a void without ending I filled her with tempests Her body was bending Then loosed the great arrow It pierced through the center The old world was trembling I stepped in as breaker [Chorus] I am Marduk I am Marduk Order from fracture I am Marduk I am Marduk Merciless rhythm I am Marduk I am Marduk Heaven and earth listen I am Marduk [Verse 2] I stood on her corpse With my club raised in triumph Split her asunder Like fish in the silence One half became heaven Stretched taut as a banner The other the earth That supports every manor From her eyes poured the rivers The Tigris Euphrates Her blood fed the clouds And the seasonal weights Her tail became mountains Her spine formed the axis I bound all her monsters As gates and as practice The eleven who served her Now tremble in fetters Their weapons are broken Their power severed [Pre-Chorus] I carved out the cosmos With surgical thunder No more the devouring No more the blind hunger I speak and the heavens Align to my measure The tremor that ended The chaos forever [Chorus] I am Marduk I am Marduk Order from fracture I am Marduk I am Marduk Merciless rhythm I am Marduk I am Marduk Heaven and earth listen I am Marduk [Bridge] Bel, Lugal King of the pantheon Shepherd of gods And the storm that dismantled them Breaker of breakers Tamer of tempests The one who makes structure From infinite wreckage Salt in the wound Now mended and settled The flame in the void That made everything level [Final Chorus] I am Marduk I am Marduk Order from fracture I am Marduk I am Marduk Merciless rhythm I am Marduk I am Marduk The world stays tethered I am Marduk
