I torment the salt of the earth,
~"Who am I?"~
Eat up the children from unholy birth,
~"Who am I?"~
The ravens caw and come to pick,
~"Who am I?"~
Off woeful ones that I've made sick,
~"Who am I?"~
See travelers on the road of pain,
~"Who am I?"~
Rider on the clouds drive you insane,
~"Who am I?"~
I'm coming for you, I'm coming quick,
~"Who am I?"~
My art deception, my craft, -the trick...

The Sumerian storm god was a goddess adopted by the Hebrews as, "Lilith," or in the original, "Li-Li-Tu." She was part of a cadre of evil sky spirits who could manifest themselves inside animals and humans and due to some ancient wrong were particularly found of killing or making suffer; men and male babies. She was considered a daytime goddess and her thundering storms gave her the epithet, "Rider on the clouds." She is related to the Greek Artemis(as a huntress), Phoenician Astarte, Ishtar, Hebrew Lilith, Sumerian Anatu, Egyptian Anit, Aryan Tiamat, the Hindu Devas and the prototype for ritual witchcraft. She was a completely evil character.
Tu is action, Ana is sky so her name represents the ACTIONS of the SKY!
