Eluveitie - Nil lyrics

rate me

Curtain's up for this lurid age<br />

Clear the ring for oppression and greed<br />

Welcome to this wasteland<br />

Of blight and havoc<br />

Once known as my home<br />

<br />

Deleting fulfilled! <br />

Erasing procedure done! <br />

Cleansing complete! <br />

It's done, my friend, <br />

It's over and done! <br />

<br />

There was nothing left<br />

But the smell of salassian blood<br />

Nil and nothing left<br />

But the braying void in our homes<br />

<br />

I never forgot the eyes of the kids<br />

Wrested from their moms<br />

To be sold into slavery<br />

I still can hear<br />

The cries of the raped<br />

And the bellow of the flames<br />

The hymn of absurd death<br />

<br />

Heed the chronicles<br />

Of lucrative genocide<br />

The annals of effaced tribes<br />

Pages written in blood<br />

<br />

Ave Caesar Augustus<br />

It's done, my friend<br />

It's over and done
