Funeral Pyre Tribulation

[00:24.45] Haunting spirit, hear these words that I proclaim
[00:30.29] I will guide your journey
[00:32.14] And you will have your due of flames
[00:35.43] Accept my humble sacrifice of the chosen few
[00:41.53] Slain and flayed before the pyre
[00:44.28] I'll make your wish come true
[00:48.67] The beautiful dead that surround me now
[00:54.24] Burnt black by the fires of death
[01:00.26] The beautiful dead that surround me now
[01:04.45] The transition through flames into the night
[01:10.44] As the fumes rise from the funeral pyre
[01:15.24]
[01:24.71] Oh, immortals hear my call, I've shorn my hair and lit the pyre
[01:30.97] The stars shine and the fires cast light on the mournful choir
[01:37.01] Winds, I summon you, from the north and from the west
[01:42.87] Gather to feed flames, come forth to greet your guest
[01:48.74] Blood is shed
[01:50.09] The wine is spilled
[01:51.81] Bellowing smoke from the tripods
[01:54.35] No words unsaid
[01:55.92] The deed fulfilled
[01:57.42] An offering to the gods
[02:01.14]
[02:29.67] Gathered now the burnt remains
[02:32.37] A stark reminder of the pains
[02:35.36] On the road to immortality
[02:38.22] Where lesser men would die
[02:41.18] The rites are ended on the morrow
[02:44.12] The bones interred beneath the barrow
[02:47.10] Enshrined in gold forever more
[02:49.73] Pray Elysium awaits, and the names go on
[02:56.08]
[03:41.13] The beautiful dead that surround me now
[03:47.08] Burnt black by the fires of death
[03:52.90] The beautiful dead that surround me now
[03:56.90] The transition through flames into the night
[04:03.11] As the fumes rise from the funeral pyre
[04:08.53]
