Let the Vultures Sing Our Deeds - Crawling Chaos

Divine punishment at stake

The beloved of the gods

Fruitful lands worth their price in blood

Crimson banners are summoned

Ruler of Lagash, Ensi of the land

Lead your faithful soldiers

Sender the army of Umma

To plant the seeds of your dynasty

The phalanx is unleashed

Fearless heroes, a living engine of violence

Defeated enemies trampled below their feet

Spears piercing chests, decapitation drawing near

Vultures flying above

The heads of the foes in their beaks

A bloody victory

Forever carved in stone

For the centuries to come

Forever carved in stone

For the centuries to come

Inspired by the giant Ningirsu

Wielding a mace in his right hand

Anzu, the lion-headed eagle by him

A net full of naked bodies at his feet

The mother of the god, goddess herself

Ninhursag observes, sacrifice ahead

Her horned headband is towering behind

The marching soldiers' shouldered spears

Vultures flying above

The chariot is ready, first strike, the king’s strike

Head crushed by the iron, the battle begins

The deafening clash of the human waves fills the field

Scattered bodies, gutted, pierced, maimed and nailed to the sand

The naked priest prepares for the libation ritual

Animal blood feeds the freshly soaked ground

Slaves begin cutting into the necks of the fallen

The defeated ones beheaded, with no exception

The phalanx is unleashed

Fearless heroes, a living engine of violence

Defeated enemies trampled below their feet

Spears piercing chests, decapitation drawing near

Vultures flying above

The heads of the foes in their beaks

A bloody victory

Forever carved in stone

For the centuries to come

Forever carved in stone

For the centuries to come

A bloody victory

Forever carved in stone

Forever carved in stone

For the centuries to come
