Burying the Dead
Slechtvalk

When the fire finally extinguished in the morning sun,
I gathered the remnants of the choir who were slain
This cowardly slaughter I fail to grasp it all
They could not even defend themselves!
What beasts were they who did this to these saints?
The need for them to die, I wonder why

Dost thou not see the war that plagues the land,
the dragon's campaign to conquer this world?
Seven bodies, seven graves I digged for them
For dust thou art, and unto dust shalt thou return
Under the setting sun I buried the last one
My children, now come to Me

In these times of darkness,
where the dragon attempts to overthrow the kingdom of light,
in secret the final defeat of the dragon is being prepared

Lyrics by Slechtvalk

  Allegiance   And Thus It Burns   Besieged   Bewailed   Black Raven Death   Call to Arms   Desertion   Desolate   Divided by Malice   Enthroned   Forsaken   Mortal Serenity   On the Eve of Battle   Tamers of the Seas   The Spoils of Treason   Thunder of War   Towards the Dawn   Under a Moonlit Sky   Vengeance of a Scorned King
