作曲 : Deeds Of Flesh | |
Through a process of absorption and conquest | |
Rituals of blood to appease the divine | |
Offerings of life | |
To feed the gods' hunger | |
Captured in battle or from tribute | |
The war god is especially thirsty | |
To invoke the spirits of the sun and war | |
Prevention of plague, defeat, and famine | |
A scene of darkness and death | |
Royal libation of blood | |
Waterfalls of red fall from the pyramid | |
Producing lakes of blood | |
Covering pits full of corpses, piled a hundred high | |
Ritual sacrifice on a vast scale | |
Never seen before or since | |
Communion with superior beings | |
The gods are thirsty, they must be fed | |
With a steady supply of human hearts | |
And Crimson offering | |
The blood of sacrifice | |
For expiation, and perpetuating life | |
To honor the gods | |
Of the earth, and the rain, and fire | |
The horror, the honor | |
Surrounded by the unworthy | |
Spread eagle on a round stone | |
Content to die | |
Waterfalls of red fall from the pyramid | |
Producing lakes of blood | |
Covering pits full of corpses, piled a hundred high | |
With an obsidian knife | |
Chests are cut open, they're still alive! | |
Removal of still beating | |
Removal of still beating hearts | |
Blood flows like rivers | |
Bodies tossed to the bottom | |
One hundred high | |
So the sun will rise | |
Through a process of absorption and conquest | |
Rituals of blood to appease the divine | |
Offerings of life | |
To feed the gods' hunger | |
Captured in battle or from tribute | |
The war god is especially thirsty | |
To invoke the spirits of the sun and war | |
Prevention of plague, defeat, and famine | |
A scene of darkness and death | |
To ward off the fury and wrath |
