Savages of Gaul Lyrics

I walk on the ground before me

Littered with the ghosts of yore

Sacrificed for fallen realms

Of gods that rule no more

I set my gaze out at the sky

And I find what I seek

Up on a branch, a magpie

Leaves set within its beak

It stares at my pain,

It knows what it sees

The bird shows disdain

Beyond the echoes of the trees

We claim we are a civilization

But have we changed at all?

I fear we are no better than the

savages of Gaul

I harken back to the days gone by

To the sorrowless days of old

I long again for the pleasant age

Before our innocence was sold

The days ahead aren't promising

Teeming with evil sinners

History shall repeat itself

Samson shall topple the Dagon's pillars

We claim we are a civilization

But have we changed at all?

I fear we are no better than the

savages of Gaul

So let us mourn for what's gone before

Guiding hearts in the darkest of nights

With an elegy that sings forevermore

Even a somber cadence will suffice

Through tears that fall like gentle rain

The retching pain that we've endured

Our generation is deemed profane

Ruined legacies unheard

We claim we are a civilization

But have we changed at all?

I fear we are no better than the

savages of Gaul

We claim we are a civilization

But have we changed at all?

I fear we are no better than the

savages of Gaul
