Running Going into the woods Far away from tlaxcala hills The pyre is burning the triple alliance has come An ancient pact will take place right now The greatest glory of mexica a heart ripped out Eternal change of blood between gods and men Celebrations for huitzilopochtli have begun The smell of death approaches at the zenith Sun This world, this plane is not your place Here is just your nest war is your mission And feed the Sun with human flesh and blood Ritual immolation for beyond the times Quin ōctlamati noyōllo Niccaqui in cuīcatl Niquitta in xōchitl Māca in cuetlahuia in tlālticpac For full equation of cosmic order Feel the sweet scent of darkness Captive in the major city of tenochtitlán For tonatiuh I'm the chosen one Dual chains of water and fire Carved upon a monolith Collecting hearts for victory Blood offering perpetuating our existence Four soldiers against me Macuahuitl in hands Inside a flowery war tied to gladiators’ stone I swear I will kill some of you before my fall My obsidian blades cut the flesh till the bones Sacred bones Eagle warriors Jaguar warriors With honour and respect Adorned with gold and feathers The priest leads my death A heart offered to God Sun My ascention So I hold my breath And close my eyes When the silex points to my chest Retribution for the gods The cycle is complete That’s my glorious destiny Higher than mictlán domains I rise all nine stairs Flowery death sets me free Blood offering perpetuating our existence
