Nekropolis Khartago
The ancient walls of Karthago
Punic power in the Mediterranean
Devotion to the archaic gods
The city in state of siege
Mass sacrifice to appease the gods
Unborn ones were pledged to die
Chorus:
NEKROPOLIS KARTHAGO
NEKROPOLIS KARTHAGO... burn!
The rites of their forefathers
Sons and daughters pass through the fire
Burning as a gift to their deity
Infant corpses and newborn ones
Sacrifical victims on the pyre
At the place of dreadful shadows
Chorus:
NEKROPOLIS KARTHAGO
NEKROPOLIS KARTHAGO... burn for me!
Impenetrable mysteries of ancient times
Praying for their gods mercy
Obtain some great favour
Through the precious in their lives
They burned 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!
Chorus:
NEKROPOLIS KARTHAGO
NEKROPOLIS KARTHAGO!
All their sons passed through my fire
Through the rite of human sacrifice
