Raise the hoary monument on the cliffs by the sea Hew the kingdom’s myth into slave blood slicked masonry Feed the smelting furnace with the stunted, coveted tree Forge brittle iron into quick rough weaponry Cut apart the sails and wrap the wealthy dead Grind up the grain stores and bake it into bread Net the mountain rivers and throw refuse in the streams Slaughter the live stock to serve the royal feast
A dull sun rises over twilit cities resting smug in their opulent walls Wealth in denial and denial of wealth As their mirrored shadows justly fall
These shadows they fall through the night On this decadent island kingdom Why heed the fate of the elders? Their monuments dot the sands
Now the turgid ague of a looming deficit Settles amongst the folk of the land Their livelihood chokes on its own waste And their children wistfully gaze from the sands
At shadows that fall in the night, on this decadent island kingdom Unheard, the call of the elders, whose works decay in the sands The shadows they fall in the night, on this evil island kingdom Now heed the fate of the elder race, their monuments dot the sands
Suffer, the raving hordes insatiable Suffer, the bursting civil pustule Suffer, the rising merciless sea Suffer, the tardiness of death
Shadows, shadows of man
A dark moon rises over piles of detritus Strewn across the kingdoms demise Slavering cannibals gnaw on the dead And the destitute pierce the air with their cries
Under shadows that fell in the night, on this desolate island kingdom Embrace the fate of the elders whose works decay in the sands Shadows fell in the night, on that evil island kingdom For akin to fate of the elder race their monuments dot the sands
Raise the hoary monument on the cliffs by the sea Hew the kingdom’s myth into slave blood slicked masonry Feed the smelting furnace with the stunted, coveted tree Forge brittle iron into quick rough weaponry Cut apart the sails and wrap the wealthy dead Grind up the grain stores and bake it into bread Net the mountain rivers and throw refuse in the streams Slaughter the live stock to serve the royal feastTeksty umieszczone na naszej stronie są własnością wytwórni, wykonawców, osób mających do nich prawa.
