Carrion Lyrics - Singles - Moonsorrow

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...
