Bone Awl – Graubelle Man/Lindow Man (Bog Bodies)
Bone Awl – Bog Bodies demo (2003)
1. Graubelle Man
blood dried black
in the river of himself
bone gone black
his throat deeply slit
life had to be
paid for with life
grauballe man
with you lay
black oxen and pigs
they are your equal
life had to be
paid for with life
swamped purgatory
hold the fearful soul
an ancient example
of dishonor
life had to be
paid for with life
time burnt corpse
eternally haunts
weak grauballe
twisted and torn
life had to be
paid for with life
2. Lindow Man
slumped into shoulders
a dark leather face
from the long slumber
in a grave of peat
beard stained red
sinews around neck
of ritual killing
iron age execution
dark green casket
eternalized from acid
the black offering
to worship the sun
old lindow man
an inevitable victim
of barbarous rite
to worship nature
