After the advent of space flight, and my armies begin conquering the known reaches of the galaxy, this will be the Anthem all will fall to their knees to in glorious rapture as they behold their true God: me.
A blurry shape of city on the horizon. Though you're a simple soldier, you feel the pride of being the part of army which is going to change the history. Dust soars as you march throught the desert bringing Assyrian leadership to this land. The fight is going to be tough, you have no doubts, but the war song sung by thousand throaths gives you no other choice - this day will be the day of your victory.
@Pazuzzuzpet its an assyrian lamassu - a deity that protected the Assyrian cities - it has 5 legs to give the illusion that it is running at you ... basically they were put at the entrances to the major cities to scare the shit out of an invading army
Right....i´m also German.....and it´s a bit ridiculous....but nonetheless this song is awesome....and....i like how much they take from the "Necronomicon"....good book by the way...
Of course man, but still it doesn't make sense. -.- Would be right if it was like a double title like Die Rache/ Krieglied der Assyriche. (so something like: Vengeance/ Warsong of the Assyrians) but hey I didn't complain, I love the style of Nile's lyrics!
He has expressed interest in doing something like that. I would enjoy it...he is certainly better at writing this kind of music as well as his solo stuff than what he writes for Nile, Dallas is much better in the metal department in my opinion.
Assuming this is based around some kind of archaeological expedition in the 1800's, it might simply just be antiquated German too. I don't know for certain though.
Ich bin mir ganz sicher dass die Nile mitglieder keine Deutsche vorfaheren haben. Dallas ist 1/4 Indianer.
Warscheinlich verwenden sie Deutsch, weil es sich interessant anhört. Bin mir aber nicht sicher. Ich glaube nicht dass Dallas und Karl Deutsch sprechen.
btw this is not sumarian its assyrian: siryane and whats to know its just summoning the demon gods of assyrians and some greek gods to revenge the assyrians we need more songs like these mesopotamian and cananits meths fucking rule
Where would be elite component? It's a translation, not even complete, with my impression on the group. The previous posted one was not correct, full stop. I don't know Sumerian (XD), i just like Nile, mithology and history. Much wrong with that?
The first part in sumerian is just the invocation, the summoning; the english part is the request. And in english he sings, too (i know, it's difficult to get it but it is XD)
Von Unaussprechlichen Kulten is a quotation from Lovecraft, as many, many lines of Nile are (just listen to In Their Darkened Shrines, for the most clear ones). And yes, that's a GOOD thing.
I think he was a symbol ov the south? wind which was associated with yeah...sickness and shit like that as you said. Incidentally, I think I heard that he also protected mothers during childbirth or protect against spirits that could cause harm to child bearing mothers or something. Please correct me if I'm wrong--this sorta shit fascinates me :D
actually, pazuzu wasn't totally evil, for example women would pray to him in order to protect against lamashtu, a demon that would cause stillborn babies. in this role he was a protective deity.
Pazuzu is an ancient Near Eastern god/demon. As far as people know, he was NOT worshipped in ancient Egypt. I know that because i study ancient history.
and, on that topic... german is well known for it's long compound words... somethiung like 'revenge war song' would result in revengewarsong on german, or, as said below, Vergeltungskriegslied.
but i didn't know that Rache isn't used in war terms... good to know.
I learned german for 10 years (but since then i've forgotten almost everything), the title in english is "The Assyrians Revenge War Song", and i think the grammar is correct. Not sure though, neither english, nor german are my first languages. But yes, who cares?;)
After the advent of space flight, and my armies begin conquering the known reaches of the galaxy, this will be the Anthem all will fall to their knees to in glorious rapture as they behold their true God: me.

This isn't just the best non-metal Nile song, it's one of their best songs imo. I know, i sound funny. Don't worry, i'm a real metalhead.
Their next album should have a few songs like this! Oh, and Karl should do more vocals. His grunts are divine.
Amongst the catacombs is my fav Nile album.
Funny thing:
In the booklet, at the "thanks to" section, they welcome their new guitarist Dallas Toler Wade. But on the same page it says:
Nile is:
