Song key:
[death growl]
(vocal fry)
everything else is clean sung
[/quote]
[Between!] (Earth and sky!)
(Plumed serpent lie!)
[Fog!] (Rises high!)
(Glaring red, eyes!)
[Stare!] (Into bloodied lies!)
(Sail away, cut all ties!)
[Mock!] (Humankind!)
(Bag of bones, bind!)
[Clear!] (Your minds!)
(Dead is all, time!)
[Sacrifice!] (Put all behind!)
(On your knees, life resign!)
(So betray!)[Stowaway!]
(Into the fray!]
(So betray!)[Stowaway!]
(Burning away!)
(So betray!)[Stowaway!]
(Forever castaway!)
(So betray!)[Stowaway!]
(Eternal!) [Cycles!]
(Live blind!)
(Eternal!)[Cycles!]
(Free your mind!)
(Eternal!)[Cycles!]
(Bleed your eyes!)
(Eternal!)[Cycles!]
(Trapped in the ice!)
(Dust seethes through rust,)
(Death pulses through red,)
(Plumed serpent, repent!)
(Eternal!) [Cycles!]
(Live blind!)
(Eternal!)[Cycles!]
(Free your mind!)
(Eternal!)[Cycles!]
(Bleed your eyes!)
(Eternal!)[Cycles!]
(Trapped in the ice!)
(Dust seethes through rust,)
(Death pulses through red,)
(Plumed serpent, repent!)
(Repent!)
(Repent!)
([Repent!])
Beneath brazen stars,
Lies a stoned eye, far away,
It curses the day,
Shunned is the way, of prophecy,
Foretold is the coming, of the serpent,
Sacrifices beckon us to repent,
His cold steel creates the end,
Run and hide, mend your wounds,
Slow death of the mind, is born,
Forlorn is the wise man, gold in his hands,
Ransack the land, pursuit of heathen wealth,
Plumed serpent, (repent!)
[Sacrifice!]
(Your wrath is sown!)
[Sacrifice!]
(Your wrath is sown!)
[Sacrifice!]
(Your wrath is sown!)
[quote]The song is about Quetzalcoatl, and more specifically Cortes' destroying the Aztec under their belief that he was Quetzalcoatl.[/quote]

I'm not usually one for anti-humanist, pro-conservation messages. Maybe it was the imagery. Good job. Keep us posted on the full band.
