Blood for the Sun God Lyrics

The 52-year cycle is at end
The sun has made its last descent
Sacrifices have to be made
Apocalypse further delayed

Bring forth the thousands who are to submit
Have them rise the steps of the pyramid
Towards the top and the blood stained altar
Show them respect, worship these avatars

By the altar the priests await
wearing the skins of the ones who were flayed
Dancing in trance and singing hymns
Gathering blood in bowls filled to the brim

Blood, blood, blood for the sun god

Abdomen cut open
Heart torn out, still beating
Held in air, blood cascading
Like the sun – round, hot, pulsating

Cadaver falls down the temple's stairs
Spirit ascends to the skies
Messenger sent to the god with prayers
To annul all sin, to purify

Quench your thirst with blood

Below the crowd views the performance
Joining the sacrifice, entering trance
Bleeding to quench the thirst of the god
Cutting their ears, tongues and genitals

Quench your thirst with blood
Quench your thirst with blood

Blood, blood, blood for the sun god

Viscera thrown to animals
The bodies cut to pieces and eaten
Honor to you brave cannibals
Warriors who will never be beaten

Long ago the gods sacrificed for us
The earth, moon and stars are their body parts
By their example we repay our debt
All life can continue only through death
Endless great universe will not collapse
Another 52 years can elapse

The sun rises again
The sun rises again
