Xoth – Haruspex lyrics

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

[Pre Chorus]
