about

The lyrics to this song are partly adapted from "The Devils and Evil Spirits of Babylonia: Being Babylonian and Assyrian Incantations Against the Demons, Ghouls, Vampires, Hobgoblins, Ghosts and Kindred Evil Spirits, Which Attack Mankind" by Reginald Campbell Thompson (1903). There's also a little bit of 'A Change is Gonna Come' by Sam Cooke and a hint of the myth of Prometheus' creation of man, and in turn various other creation myths (Islamic, Jewish, Sumerian, Egyptian, Zorastrian, Hindu, Chinese, Babylonian, Gilgamesh etc etc...)

lyrics

She was formed, she was not born
With the clay from the river, she was as grey as the morn

They were dust and nothing more
They were that which a woman in travail hath brought forth

Womb or tomb? Just dust postponed
In the great gate of sunset, a small stone, a large stone

She pours forth no water, she utters no spells
She will dwell for the ages in a (lofty) shining abode
