Column of Skulls Lyrics


Ravaging armies devastating the land

War and destruction ruled for decades

Plague and misery within city-walls

Stench of putrefaction gusts over the fields

Slaughtered soldiers’ bodies fertilize the crops

Reaper and devil haggling over the harvest

A feast for the ravens

Blood drenches the earth

No more holy ground

Fields tiled with bones

The reaper finds his way to every house or court

Pawns and loyalties, they are equal to the apocalypse

Funeral pyres and mass graves affecting the land

The black-death reaps, what the war has left behind

Skeleton-legions

No more holy ground

Grotesquely stacked

At ossuary-walls

Column of skulls

Column of skulls

Grotesquely stacked

Column of skulls

Decomposing monument in the chapels of the dead

Silent witnesses of an eldritch "danse macabre"

Skeleton legions

No more holy ground

Skulls casting shadows

On ossuary-walls
