The ancient walls of Karthago 

Punic power in the Mediterranean 

Devotion to the archaic gods

 

The city the state of siege 

Mass sacrifice to appease the gods

Unborn ones were pledged to die


NEKROPOLIS KARTHAGO

NEKROPOLIS KARTHAGO


The rites of their forefathers

Sons and daughters pass through the fire

Burning as a gift to their deity


Infant corpses and newborn ones 

Sacrificial victims on the pyre

At the place of dreadful shadows


NEKROPOLIS KARTHAGO

NEKROPOLIS KARTHAGO


Impenetrable mysteries of ancient times 

Praying to their gods mercy

Obtain some great favour

Through the precious in their lives


They burn their sons for Baal 

Godlike act of vengeance

"I demand their firstborn

that I might horrify them"


Burn for me!

The rite of human sacrifice!


NEKROPOLIS KARTHAGO

NEKROPOLIS KARTHAGO


All their sons passed through my fire

Through the rite of human sacrifice
