" Night and day rule from their two thrones,

Where the darkest hour and the brightest light meet
the Hellmouth shall be crossed
by she strengthened under the gift of day,
by she liberated with the gift of light.
And the world is whole again.

But the Cruel Kingdom hungers for a sacrifice.
Sacrifice overthrows chaos.
Sacrifice is necessary
for what was two to become one.

Test your worth; offer
to her, Inanna’s immortality.
She will grieve endlessly for the sister
Who slumbers in the house of the dead,
but her tears will save us all.

And until the Gates of Death and Life interwine,
Love continues to be the toll.
And she will pay.
She will pay. "
