Eluveitie - The Siege lyrics

rate me

<b>The Siege</b> by <i>Eluveitie</i><br />Scorched earth we left

A barren land of ash

Our fatherland laid waste

Be the void our fucking monument

At a leaden dawn

At this ominous morn

Pila loomed on the horizon

Talons of the wolverine

Exanimate legions formed

At the very gates of avaricum

Believed invulnerable

This calling wall

But straight out of nowhere

Before our eyes this godsdawn bane arose

Thus avaricum burns

Under a dead sky

Avaricum drowns

In blood and demise

Siege towers emerged

Protruding from the ground

Standing out against the threatening sky

As if to mock all valiantness

Face to face with an eye-levelled enemy

Serried roman ranks

Embattled upon our hold

Cut off and trapped inside

As the carnage was at hand

As the creak of the winches extolled our doom

The slaughter befell avaricum

Dead suffused the oppidum

Left to pillage, sack and rape

Avaricum the brave became avaricum the grave
