Ancestral Energy Lyrics

A distant thunder shakes him in his nightmare
Familiar faces that he can't let go

An ancient temple rises from the valley
Built for the gods live hundred years ago
Sacred altars await the chosen bodies
The priests will offer twenty thousand souls

The ritual has begun
Stealing their hearts as they still beat
They fuel the rising sun
Hasten the night the more they bleed

Ancestral energy
Born from their tragedy
Thousands have paid the price
One shall remain

The skills of an ancient race
Masters of art and shaping stone
A magic he will embrace
Rekindle the craft to be his own

The energy will survive
Flowing from his endlessly
The city of sacrifice
Centuries gone and still it breathes

Ancestral energy
Born from their tragedy
Thousands would pay the price
One shall remain

Ancestral energy
The source of his mastery
Blood of the sacrifice
Runs through his veins

We are those left of the stories untold
Purging our pain through the git that you hold
Out of your fury we'll rise once again
Given new life again through the stone and pen
Now we live again through the stone and pain
Men from the cast came with truth in their eyes
Promising glory that soon turned to lies
Guiding us willingly step after step
Up the great temple where fate would be met
Now we live again through your imagination
Sacrificed
Gave our lives
Spilled our blood
For their god
Through your life
We refuse to die

The voices speak to me
I hear them in my dreams
Although I am the last
I know I'm not alone

I carry the weight of a civilization
A vessel of their energy
Born to create the greatest creations
The world has ever seen

A journey has come to pass
Sealing his fate their souls combine
So many will feel the wrath
Cursing his foes through their design

Ancestral energy
Born from their tragedy
Blood of the sacrifice
Runs through his veins
