Song language: English
Rape of the Black Earth |
| Violent clashes engulf the war torn black earth |
| Political turmoil brings chaos and ruin upon the upper and lower kingdom |
| Heretics and zealots rape the two lands |
| Brazen rampant looting and wanton vandalism a bleak reality |
| Destroying entire epochs of history |
| In search of shiny bits of metal |
| Dogs play with human bones |
| Amongst hundreds of deep pits bug into exposed bombs |
| Children scavenge for shards of pottery amongst grisly debris |
| The unwrapped and dismembered remnants of the mummified dead |
| Ancient burial wrappings unravel in the desert wind |
| Broken bits of wooden sarcophagi |
| Shriveled mummified hands bleached skulls, spines, arm and leg bones |
| Scattered all around like the aftermath of a massacre |
| The temples of the Gods defiled |
| Looters hack relics off sacred walls |
| Laying bare hands upon the images of the Gods themselves |
| Unearthing what should not be unearthed |
| Thieves ransack antiquities |
| Cutting monuments and statues into small parts to sell upon the black market |
| Manuscripts despoiled, papyrii burned, inscriptions defaced |
| The images of the Gods defiled |
| Statues stolen priceless coffin reliefs and stelae strewn in sand |
| Inscriptions and wall paintings desecrated with knife and hammer |
| Limestone casings stripped from atop the lesser pyramids |
| Entire temples disappear their foundations laid waste |
| Their stones pulled down, taken away and sold |
| To be reused in foreign and profane lands |
| The dried and withered corpses of the preserved dead torched |
| The bones of the royal dead from centuries past |
| Ripped from their ancient slumber |
| Left to be trampled, kicked and faded in the sun |
| As heretics and zealots rape the two lands |
