Beneath Ravens And Bones

"Behold our land
Where we have walked since ages past
A fortress built from soil and tree.

Behold our land
Devoid of falsehood, only unyielding nature
Convalesce within the aegis of quintessence.

And now my brothers!
We will die again and again
Together we'll repeat the circle".

Unarmed and bleeding I'm forced down on my knees
A stalwart gaze fixed on the gibbet tree
Yet unbroken and proud I accept my fate
I close my eyes and reject your blind faith.

Will we die alone?
Beneath ravens and bones.

I watch the firmament rearrange
...and gods in deep slumber awake
Taste the wrath of a million years
Crack the shell of this celestial sphere
...and gods in deep slumber awake.

The torn banners of my forefathers
Lies here scattered from the slaughter
My corporeal form sway under the sun
My life's journey has just begun.

Will we die alone?
Beneath ravens and bones.

The bones
The signs
The stars
All align.
