The ancient walls of Karthago

Punic power in the Mediterranean

Devotion to the archaic gods



The city in state of siege

Mass sacrifice to appease the gods

Unborn ones were pledged to die



Nekropolis Karthago

Nekropolis Karthago... burn! 



The rites of their forefathers

Sons and daughters pass through the fire

Burning as a gift to their deity



Infant corpses and newborn ones

Sacrificial victims on the pyre

At the place of dreadful shadows



Nekropolis Karthago

Nekropolis Karthago... burn for me! 



Impenetrable mysteries of ancient times

Praying for their gods mercy

Obtain some great favor

Through the precious in their lives



They burned their sons for Baal

Godlike act of vengeance

"I demand their firstborn

That I might horrify them"



Burn for me! 

The rite of human sacrifice! 



Nekropolis Karthago

Nekropolis Karthago

All their sons passed through my fire

Through the rite of human sacrifice
