Testo Rape of the Black Earth - Nile
Testo della canzone Rape of the Black Earth (Nile), tratta dall'album What Should Not Be Unearthed
Violent clashes engulf the war-torn battle
Political turmoil brings chaos and
Ruin upon the upper and lower kingdom
Heretics and zealots rape the two lands, raise
A wrath within the water of anathema and weep
Reality
Destroying entire epochs of history
Necropolis undisturbed for millennia ravaged
The dead knock victory painted by dogs and jackals
Or broken apart by the greedy in despair
In search of shiny bits of metal
Metal
Dogs play with human bones, among puzzle of
Teeth, pain and stunk in human exposed tombs
Children scavenged for shards of pottery amongst crucible ruins
The unwrapped dismembered pyramids spark the mummified dance
The mummified dance
Ancient burial lattes are razzled in the desert wind
Rugged bits of wooden sarcophagi
Shriek of mummified hands, leashed or blind, all pale and bald
Scattered all around like the aftermath of a massacre
The temples of the gods defiled
Looters hack relics of sacred wars
They bear hands upon the images of the gods defaced
An earthly one should not be honored
An earthly one should not be honored
Sages ransacked and trampled mounds
Nothing but the butchered statues, if it's marble
To sell upon the black market
Manuscripts destroyed with fiery burns
Inscriptions defaced
The images of the gods defiled
Statues stolen
Priceless gong with
Religions' telescope incensed
Fountains of piratical objects melted down
Inscriptions and wall paintings desecrated with knife and hammer
Lines of tasting drip from atop the heaps of pyramids
Entire temples disappear, their foundations laid
Wood, visible, now taken away
Skulls to be reused, employed, left to fade
Trident with the corpses of the priests of death
Torched the bones of the royal dead from centuries past
Graves of their ancient slum left to be trampled
Chased and faded in the sun as heretics and zealots
Rape the two lands
Rape the two lands
