For All Those Who Died Lyrics - Blood Fire Death - Bathory

For all those who cried aloud 

But whose tears were never heard 

For questioning one almighty father 

Of a heavenly distanced world 

Beloved thee who submit 

The holy writings assured 

The golden cross stained with innocent blood 

But stand yet a thousand heavenward 

Burning naked but smiling 

Not full of fear but pride 

Knowing death alone could cleanse them 

Of the reasons for which they all die 

For all those who died 

For all those whose great beauty 

Stirred their torturers to rage 

And for all those whose great ugliness 

Did the same 

For all those who cried aloud in vain 

For mercy on the rack 

But whom of dying naked in scorn 

Not ashamed 

Burning naked but smiling 

Not full of fear but pride 

Knowing death alone could cleanse them 

Of the reasons for which they all died 

For all those who died 

Pleas for mercy signs of guilt 

Naked bodies broken on the wheel 

Tears sign the confession 

With crusted blood lips sealed 

Trial by water 

For all those who died
