Erlik by Kashgar Lyrics

Blood runs into the parched earth
Sunset crowns the mountain sky
The gore-soaked noose parts the victim’s neck
A blue-faced sacrifice twitched twitched and
Died
A pale corpse against the darkness
Ages honoured in sanguine deed
Ward off the Khan of down below
Satiate his eternal need

Tengri created me
Born of charcoal & flame
Suffocating mantle of black
Aeons I have borne this stain
In terror, blame me
The seed of Tengri
Seething creation
Subterranean wrapped

Erlik
See of misfortune, find yourself
Cruel temptation, curse yourself
Weak resolve, watch yourself
Prey to Allah, doubt yourself
In lust & greed, steel yourself
Cowardice & pride, calm yourself
Murderous hatred, it’s yourself
All your weakness, blame yourself
For centuries I have spawned
Birth’d all nightmare
.
Filth of the underworld
Swallowed without a care

Erlik

Weary, hamstrung race
How easily you all succumb
While I smother you all
