|
Take them from us, the pitiful ones |
|
Pleading for bleak light's return... betrayed by impending dusk |
|
Finding no solace in the deeply lowering gloom |
|
They travel the path of the condemned in silent horror |
|
Onward into the unspeakable, no savior awaits in forgiveness |
|
Lead us unto ruin, devourer of hope |
|
In night's solemn presence |
|
The accursed procession approaches their destiny |
|
Fields in neglect; unconsecrated by blood and monumental agony |
|
Behold, crosses for the dead |
|
Their distorted shadows forewarn the tragedy |
|
The lurking fear tightens with each labored breath |
|
May we curse the gods in our final hour; the ones they have abandoned |
|
The dead and the dying; all sought in vain their own divine rescue |
|
Begin the mortification of flesh, limbs transfixed upon wooded stakes |
|
Extinction of thy very being; |
|
Hammerfalls resound through the gently sloping hills... |
|
Burn the dead now; let the ashes scatter without remembrance |
|
As those without hope, forgotten in eternity |
