lyrics

Atargatis🌙 (Syria)

Fishes, life of the sea
Sacred, fertility

Doves, love of the sky
Precious, holy

In my mortal life I met a man who tended sheep
We created a child, who one day would be queen
But I could not know my power which killed him
By my love, our copulation, he was forever dead

The lake called to me and I obeyed its beckons
Such shame I could not endure as a simple human
My power is too strong, so I must leave that life
Reigning as a goddess of the moon, the water

Fishes, life of the sea
It is I, your protector

Doves, love of the sky
Here am I, forever
