Our Gods could see what we would not

Fields have turned, bodies burned

Souls released by iron wrought

Through their eyes we tried to peer

Gods and men alike

To make the path of victory clear

It was hubris bore our knife

Pre Chorus

We tore his heart from his chest

Between the bones a truth is told

No crown that your sons will bear

From your daughters come no heir

Chorus

Saw the bones, shred the flesh

Future foretold, the haruspex

A sacrifice reveals

Our peoples fate, our end is sealed

Upon this date, upon this field

The doom the blood contained congealed

They show our end, they show our doom

A child ripped from Danu’s womb

Our stories have been told

We kneel before the Phantom Queen

Consumed by rot, consumed by mold

The first illuminates the truth

His sinew and guts shape the day

The ocher tinge that stains the woad

The augur’s bones long foretold

The die is cast, our journey’s at its end

No solace from the red blade

No visions did it rend

Ten thousand dead upon the ground

Merlin’s curse can still be found

Tribes and clans

Unto the Earth

Of us nothing

Empty dearth

Legions take our kindred

Roman lust for greed

Though we saw the future

Centurions spread their seed

The Eagle’s talons tear

The harbinger takes her flight

Her omens come to pass

On this very night
