Moonsorrow Carrion Lyrics

Carrion Lyrics

staring the ruins of a defeated town



or splitting the sky lost beyond the sun?



when did that cursed being die, i know not







claws in his back he lays to rest



face in the sand and it all is gone







too far his stare is trying to reach



while eagles soar below the clouds



iron has no strength against time



all have to lay down their arms



and to forget all that is vain



into the swamp this will end







mere ashes of a burnt town the dreams of conquerors



the void beyond the sun now the land for the banished







claws in his back he lays to rest



face in the sand and it all is gone







by slow footsteps from too far away



many are claiming treasures for themselves



iron has no strength against time



all are destined in the torment of flesh







in vain the tired will wait



who are ready to give up their journey



for on this path none will cross our way







eventually time will repay



what man has suffered in time



faces turn pale in death



and corpses are left for the crows



by the sword shall you swallow the blood you have let



into the swamp you will end







on the branches of trees, on the mountain slopes



those silent figures are watching



waiting for you to fall on your knees



and to bury your face in the sand



you no longer move, it’s when you know...
