Nile - Wrought Lyrics






Nanna - father of the zonei
Eldest of the wanderers
A shadow out of time
The moon is calling me
The breath of the old ones
Whispers in my ear
With inhuman impatience
They beckon to me

I call to the moon
And sin

I now possess the secrets
Of the tides of blood

I have traveled on the spheres
And the spheres do not
Protect me
I have walked in the pit
And the pit does not
Protect me

The lords of the wind
Rush about me
The lords of the earth
Crawl about my feet
And are angered
A wind has risen
The dark waters stir

The lines of my life
Have been obliterated
By my wanderings in the waste
My fate is no longer
Writ in the stars
For I have broken the covenant

Have the gods forsaken me
I cannot read the omens
What sacrifice
Have I failed to make
I call to the gods
Do not cast thy servant down

Wrought
What have I done!

    C.... t....

    Yes one of the best, fuckin name dropping no nothings, slayer and morbid angel is all you’ve got, get the fuck out of here posers...

    C.... t....

    It’s up for debate but they certainly are one of the most original and talented metal bands out there. Plus their music has stood the test of time and has aged nicely over the years....personally speaking, they are my favorite metal band no question

  17. G.... H....

    their best song

    G.... H....

    GH RN That would belong to Unas Slayer of the Gods. Maybe even
    To dream of Ur.

    G.... H....

    - Unas Slayer of the Gods
    - User Maat Re
    - To Dream of Ur
    - Wrought
    - Stones of Sorrow

    G.... H....

  18. A.... S....

    Fucking amazing! Riff at 3:43 is sooo epic! Hope nile revisit this style.

  19. C.... C....

    Soy de la Hijo de Sol dios

  20. C.... C....

    That is just one pure Indian drumming intro  or what? I love that line it sound as if they say wash away their god like in the track Kafir

  21. D.... x....

    See i like these kind of death metal vocals instead of that cookie monster shit

    D.... x....

    nice name dude

    D.... x....

    A lot of Nile's songs have "cookie monster" vocals...

    D.... x....

    @MadJack122 honestly you dont listen to death metal for the vocals, to me you should listen to it for the instruments

    D.... x....

    Nile started out as a Thrash band. These two EPs were essentially a crossover period, right before they became a full time Death Metal band...

  22. 4.... ....

    dat guitar riff tho

  23. 4.... ....

    hail nile \m/

  24. C.... C....

    You know I agree also it cannot be denied that Wrought it starts with red Indian drumming style

  25. F.... I....

    I believe its a Baglama Saz.

  26. r.... ....

    does anyone know the name of the instrument used in the beginning?

  27. S.... P....

    /genuflect /genuflect /genuflect

  28. L.... K....

    This song was safely written in 800 BC

  29. B.... ....

    They already achieved absolute perfection with it on this EP. You can't live on old merits.

  30. B.... ....

    You know how some religious people like to look down upon atheists because "they're missing that spiritual dimension of their lives" which makes them "incomplete persons" or some bullshit like that? That's how I feel about those who do not hail this song, and especially the solo in the middle, as the greatest thing ever created by man.

  31. M.... ....

    One of my top 5 Favorite Nile songs of all time... Of all time!

  32. M.... S....

    Fucking great sound & track...

  33. H.... C....

    3.44 - 4.09 Hüsnü Şenlendirici mübarek

  34. D.... ....

    Actually its the 3rd song off the album

  35. E.... ....

    I like both their heavy and non-heavy songs :P I think you shouldn't judge songs on awesomeness with that, if you did that at least :P

    E.... ....

    This is a heavy song, or at least a song with heavy parts.

  36. M.... P....

    no es una de las mejores bandas es mejor droom pooll

  37. R.... ....

    This song is insanely aegyptian =P

  38. S.... S....

    one of the best death metal bands out there.

  39. M.... E....

    powerful lyrics

  40. A.... ....

    Epic Intro

    @NeroAngelo616 It has more similarity to Sarcophagus than Stones of Sorrow.

  44. r.... ....

    @xaviermockingbird What are you talking about? The lyrics are completely correct...

  45. k.... ....

    WHY THE FUCK DID THIS NOT MAKE THE FUCKING FINAL CUT SELECTION FOR AMONGST THE CATACOMBS OF NEPHREN-KA ALTHOUGH IT DOES HAVE A SMALL SIMALARITY TO "STONES OF SORROW" NONETHELESS WHY NOT?!?!?!?!?!???!?!??!?? NOT TO SEEM ALIKE BILLY MAYS TYPING THIS BUT OH PLEASE.

  46. H.... K....
