Lyrics
A thousand years ago in the Valley of Death
There was a calm, courageous king called Gilgamesh
His ruling was just fine, but then in time
His felt oppressed and prayed for a sign
King of Uruk and strongest of em all
Gilgamesh be in here killin em all
Two-thirds god, One-third mortal
He be traveling the Earth to be immortal
His friend Enkidu actin like a wild man
Fresh start, Tarzan of the wild highlands
Enkidu paid his respects to Gilgamesh for bestin’ em
Gilgamesh impressed that someone had even tested em
Because every man he’d ever met until then was estrogen
He kills people- fatality
He faces problems- Morality
Gilgamesh
On a Quest
To find immortality
He went on a quest fo immortality
Lookin for da flower to give em power
Da drive for da flower turndum
Neva found it just rewound it
Lil did he know it didn’t exist
Dem teamin up
Redeeming the past
Defeating the wrath
In da bubble bath
He kills people- fatality
He faces problems- Morality
Gilgamesh
On a Quest
To find immortality
Run your fingers over the stones of this ancient city
These temples of worship and places of business
Picture them falling into desolation
Just driftin’ sand, standing walls, n’ vacant buildings
You can’t take it with you
But someone with comes here in five thousand years
Explorin’ might unearth a recording
That tells the world your story
Bang Bang
We ain't going out like that
There was a calm, courageous king called Gilgamesh
His ruling was just fine, but then in time
His felt oppressed and prayed for a sign
King of Uruk and strongest of em all
Gilgamesh be in here killin em all
Two-thirds god, One-third mortal
He be traveling the Earth to be immortal
His friend Enkidu actin like a wild man
Fresh start, Tarzan of the wild highlands
Enkidu paid his respects to Gilgamesh for bestin’ em
Gilgamesh impressed that someone had even tested em
Because every man he’d ever met until then was estrogen
He kills people- fatality
He faces problems- Morality
Gilgamesh
On a Quest
To find immortality
He went on a quest fo immortality
Lookin for da flower to give em power
Da drive for da flower turndum
