[length: 10:50]
[01:42.84]Sacrifices buried with kings
[01:45.48]Accompany them on a journey with no end
[01:50.85]To an afterlife that’s rich with fruit of all the gods
[01:56.46]And to face the demons
[01:59.48]Of their underworld haunts
[02:13.92]The sentient is sent to seek out all the truth
[02:19.71]A flight to earth that is a given from his birth
[02:24.92]To rise from ashes of the dead
[02:30.75]Out of the fire is sent to fulfil man’s desire
[02:35.97]By power day and night and death he ruled them
[02:38.72]The sky and earth and the fires too
[02:41.43]Two headed reptile symbol of his reign
[02:44.03]Universes of the underworld
[02:47.41]A life that’s full of all the wealth and riches
[02:49.88]Can never last for an eternity
[02:52.82]After living in a golden paradise
[02:55.34]The ultimate sacrifice
[02:59.03]Prophecy of sky gods, the sun and moon
[03:10.38]Passing of old ways will come true soon
[03:20.06]Falling of ages, forest of kings
[03:30.80]The search for the truth, the book of souls
[03:53.14]The rulers of planets and stars
[03:57.70]The power of the kings of traders and the wars
[04:03.08]Planetary cycles and the phases of the moon
[04:08.68]Is in the document a kingdom they will learn
[04:13.98]They were praying to the gods of nature
[04:17.01]And were living in the cities of stone
[04:19.23]Towers reaching upward to the heavens
[04:22.08]Sacred wonders for the world unknown
[04:24.87]Make their lives be a mystery no more
[04:27.77]Records kept and the passing of laws
[04:29.91]Sacred gods to the book of lies
[04:32.55]When a civilization dies
[04:35.43]Prophecy of sky gods
[04:41.07]The sun and moon
[04:46.52]Passing of old ways will come true soon
[04:56.95]Falling of ages
[05:01.99]Forest of kings
[05:08.63]The lost book of souls, destruction begins
[06:46.29]Ascending the throne wearing feathers and shells
[06:51.65]He brought back their lives from the void
[06:57.76]Alien invasion brings nothing but death
[07:04.51]Mass exodus and plant life destroyed
[08:03.39]Domain of the earth to the journey of truth
[08:06.78]The underworld caves mayan slaves
[08:09.49]Defeat of the dark lords
[08:13.91]The ultimate proof
[08:15.31]In the place where the ancestors rule
[09:53.03]The book of souls
