Virgin Soil (Illnath)

"Behold, he stands before you all Upon the tower, fit to fall See the beauty of the never-ending Hear his creatures call Say then, say then: Lay no eye upon my eye, lay no voice upon my crying Set no truth above my lie, she'd no tear upon my dying An orphan is your child to be And like you took my child from me The likes of this, my vengeance Have my hell bred creatures yet to see I've never known such naked pain As if I'm naked in the rain I've searched each world for virgin soil Fit for my slaughtered child's remains Say then, say then: For an eye you take an eye, take my voice for all your crying Upon your infants grave I lie, upon it's death I do my dying For his eye you take an eye, shattered was he when we found him Stone and cut and crucify, leave his killer's heart unpounding Men and angels hide in vain For he who hath my firstborn slain Shall die before the sun has set He took my child, he will regret Say then, say then: Lay no eye upon my eye, lay no voice upon my crying Set no truth above my lie, she'd no tear upon my dying Poised the strike in the slumberous sword Of the dark and childless lord "This machete of mine will get thee in time We're alone in a room with no door" Yes, I recall the death of one Older and more holy son I see the irony, but that won't render This one deed undone Say then, say then: For his eye you paid an eye, a law you find is self-fulfilling In your place your child did die Death is all you gain from killing"
