Nil lyrics

Curtain's up

For this lurid age

Clear the ring

For oppression and greed

Welcome to this wasteland

Of blight and havoc

Once known

As my home

Deleting fulfilled

Erasing procedure done

Cleansing complete

It's done, my friend

It's over and done

There was nothing left

But the smell of Salassian blood

Nil and nothing left

But the braying void in our homes

I never forgot

The eyes of the kids

Wrested from their moms

To be sold into slavery

I still can hear

The cries of the raped

The bellow of the flames

The hymn of absurd death

Deleting fulfilled

Erasing procedure done

Cleansing complete

It's done, my friend

It's over and done

Heed the chronicles

Of lucrative genocide

The annals of effaced tribes

Pages written in blood

Ave Caesar, Augustus

It's done, my friend

It's over and done

There was nothing left

But the smell of Salassian blood

Nil and nothing left

But the braying void in our homes

It's over and done
