Illustrated old scottish folk song in translation of Czech folk music band Asonance. The song tells a story of two ravens planning a dinner, which will eventually consist of a dying knight laying by a road. The ravens are then describing what would they do with the knight's flesh, hair, eyes etc. 

Text of the song is hand carved, the type is inspired by old germanic runes. The whole composition of text and illustration is derived from cairn, which is a celtic name for a pile of stone used for marking a specific place. In medieval Scotland, every warrior leaving for a battle placed a stone on a pile on the top of a hill. If the warrior returned from the battle, he picked the stone. If he died, his stone was left in a cairn, which made cairns some kind of a memorial.
