Sacrifices buried with kingsAccompany them on a journey with no endTo an afterlife that? s rich with fruit of all the godsAnd to face the demonsOf their underworld hauntsThe sentient is sent to seek out all the truthA flight to earth that is a given from his birthTo rise from ashes of the deadOut of the fire is sent to fulfil man? s desireBy power day and night and death he ruled themThe sky and earth and the fires tooTwo headed reptile symbol of his reignUniverses of the underworldA life that? s full of all the wealth and richesCan never last for an eternityAfter living in a golden paradiseThe ultimate sacrificeProphecy of sky gods, the sun and moonPassing of old ways will come true soonFalling of ages, forest of kingsThe search for the truth, the book of soulsThe rulers of planets and starsThe power of the kings of traders and the warsPlanetary cycles and the phases of the moonIs in the document a kingdom they will learnThey were praying to the gods of natureAnd were living in the cities of stoneTowers reaching upward to the heavensSacred wonders for the world unknownMake their lives be a mystery no moreRecords kept and the passing of lawsSacred gods to the book of liesWhen a civilization diesProphecy of sky gods, the sun and moonPassing of old ways will come true soonFalling of ages, forest of kingsThe lost book of souls, destruction beginsAscending the throne wearing feathers and shellsHe brought back their lives from the voidAlien invasion brings nothing but deathMass exodus and plant life destroyedDomain of the Earth to the journey of truthThe underworld caves, Mayan slavesDefeat of the dark LordsThe ultimate proofIn the place where the ancestors ruleThe book of souls
