The Call of The Raven King - Part II
Maidens passed from man to man
Children gutted for bloody sport
Temples sacked for gilded dross
Green fields running free with blood.
So many a noble deed was done.
The king of men called forth the guard
The farmers armed themselves with scythes
In battle the ravens killed and killed
And lost their company, one by one.
Back they went onto the high road,
Back they went, laden fat with wealth
Back they went, their weapons ripe with gore
Back they went to their nests.
No beast nor gate would bar their way.
The clouds were black behind their back,
The pretty valleys darkened as they passed
The beauty fled from such as they
These bloody crows turned men.
Back they went to their nests
One returned for every three
The Raven King was now content;
He didn't need the Form of ....Man.....
Their bellies now were full,
The ravens called upon their King.
Their nests were filled with hatchlings,
Hungry young forever needing food.
The ravens hailed their king.
El Llamado del Rey Cuervo - Parte II
Doncellas pasaron de hombre en hombre
Niños desollados por deporte sangriento
Templos saqueados por oro falso
Campos verdes corriendo libres con sangre.
Tantas nobles acciones se llevaron a cabo.
El rey de los hombres convocó a la guardia
Los granjeros se armaron con guadañas
En batalla los cuervos mataron y mataron
Y perdieron a su compañía, uno por uno.
Regresaron al camino alto,
Regresaron cargados de riqueza
Regresaron con sus armas empapadas en sangre
Regresaron a sus nidos.
Ninguna bestia ni puerta les cerraría el paso.
Las nubes estaban negras a sus espaldas,
Los valles bonitos se oscurecieron al pasar
La belleza huyó de seres como ellos
Estos cuervos sangrientos se convirtieron en hombres.
Regresaron a sus nidos
Uno regresó por cada tres
El Rey Cuervo ahora estaba satisfecho;
Ya no necesitaba la Forma de... Hombre...
Sus vientres ahora estaban llenos,
Los cuervos llamaron a su Rey.
Sus nidos estaban llenos de crías,
Jóvenes hambrientos que siempre necesitaban comida.
Los cuervos aclamaron a su rey.
