Song: "The Regent’s Flame"

Verse 1
Through Nineveh’s gates, her voice arose,
A queen of wisdom, where power flows.
Her rule was bold, her hands held grace,
Her spirit lit an endless space.
Through sacred halls, her name was sung,
A queen who ruled when the world was young.

Chorus
Oh, Sammu-Ramat, flame of the past,
Your strength endures, your shadows cast.
Through empire’s rise and ancient lore,
A queen of wisdom forevermore.

Verse 2
Her crown adorned with justice bright,
Her steps reshaped the world’s own might.
Through walls she built, her visions grew,
A sovereign force, her spirit true.
Through tales of stone, her power remains,
A legacy carved in Assyrian plains.

Chorus
Oh, Sammu-Ramat, flame of the past,
Your strength endures, your shadows cast.
Through empire’s rise and ancient lore,
A queen of wisdom forevermore.

Bridge
Through sacred rites and skies of gold,
Her name ascends through stories old.
A queen who blazed through Nineveh’s night,
Her legacy burns with eternal light.

Outro
Sammu-Ramat, your voice will sing,
Through every court and timeless king.
A queen eternal, of love untold,
Forever shining in hearts of gold.
