lyrics

The Bones That Face the God Throne by Polytheist

Holy soil taken from the blood stained hills of the crucified Christ
By the abbot of sedlec, for his peoples bohemian burial site
They thought three days, decomposed, nothing left, but their bones
And so the people of sedlec was destined to be, entombed

Plague, hath raped the land

Decomposed, freed from their bones
The walls weaved, weaved with their heads
And the, Bones that face the god throne, god throne
Pyramids made from the dead

The black death, killed indiscriminate, piling up the bodies
Bring out your dead, over forty thousand buried in the holy hole
For years they rest in peace, but then exhumed to make room
So the temple was lined with the bones of those immortal souls

Black Death, too many were taken

Decomposed, freed from their bones
The walls weaved, weaved with their heads
And the, Bones that face the god throne, god throne
Pyramids made from the dead

But Plague hath raped the land, leaving nearly nothing left
Way to much was taken by the black death

Decomposed, freed from their bones
The walls weaved, weaved with their heads
And the, Bones that face the god throne,
Pyramids made from the dead

The lyrical theme is also an exploration, touching on the impacts of religion, theology, science, spirituality & politics. ... more
