Blood eagle is an act of execution that was believed to bring glory to Odin. The victim’s back was opened with knives then with axes, his ribs were cut away, finally the lungs were pulled out and hung on their shoulders. This song shows it being done as an act of vengeance.
Blood Eagle Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Look to my burning eyes
Plead for your worthless life
All remorse I had has died
And all I have is hate inside
You took my soul from me
You took my family
You killed them all ferociously
Now this is what I give to thee
[Chorus]
Carved upon your naked back
Blood eagle!
Skinned alive your ribs are cracked
Blood eagle!
[Post-Chorus 1]
Still alive you gasp for air
As panic strikes your eyes they stare
Terror grips your dying heart
Blood eagle!
[Verse 2]
Helpless on the ground
Hands and feet tightly bound
In my eyes no mercy found
My sharp knife starts to carve around
Penetrate your naked skin
Rip flesh and dig within
With a pleased and twisted grin
I spread your lungs like eagle's wings
[Bridg]
The burning grief is tormenting me
The hate I feel is destroying me
Only vengeance will give me peace
Only vengeance will set my spirit free
[Chorus]
Carved upon your naked back
Blood eagle!
Skinned alive your ribs will crack
Blood eagle!
[Post-Chorus 2]
Still alive you gasp for air
As panic strikes your eyes will stare
Slow death grips your tortured heart
Blood eagle!
Blood eagle!
Blood eagle!
