lyrics

“NITLAYOCOYA, NICNOTLAMATIYA,
ZAN, NITEPILTZIN NEZAHUALCOYOTL.
XOCHITICA YE IHUAN CUICATICA
NIQUIMILNAMIQUI TEPILHUAN,
AYN OYAQUE,
YEHUA TEZOZOMOCTZIN
O YEHUAN QUAHQUAUHTZIN”

IN A PLACE FAR FROM THE SUN
ALL THE DEAD OF PAST AGES
WANDER FOR FOUR YEARS UNDER THE EARTH

ONCE QUETZALCOATL WAS THERE
TO RESTORE HUMAN KIND TO LIFE
ASKING FOR BONES, THE SACRED SEEDS

"I´VE COME FOR THE BONES
THE PRECIOUS ONES
THE JADE BONES!
I NEED TO HAVE THEM
IN ORDER TO POPULATE THIS EARTH!"

MICTLANTECUHTLI THE GOD
OF ALL NINE LEVELS BELOW
CONDITIONED TO GIVE THE BONES
A CHALLENGE TO BE FULFILLED

THE PLUMED SERPENT WILL TAKE THEM
TO GRIND’EM UP IN A BOWL
TOGETHER WITH OTHER GODS
RESTORING THE LIFE

SPRINKLING THEIR BLOOD
PENANCE OF THE GODS

MICTLÁN - UNDERWORLD OF SHADOWS

...AND THE SOUND OF AN APHONIC SHELL ECHOED
IN THE FOUR CORNERS OF MICTLÁN

LORD OF THE DEAD, HOLDER OF THE SACRED SEEDS
FOUGHT AGAINST THE FIFTH SUN

A HOLE
A TRAP
FALLING INTO THE DEPHTS
A DEAD GOD REBIRTHS
FIFTH OLLIN MARKED BY BLOOD

MICTLÁN - UNDERWORLD OF SHADOWS

“ESTOY TRISTE, ME AFLIJO
YO, EL SEÑOR NEZAHUALCOYOTL
CON FLORES Y CON CANTOS
RECUERDO A LOS PRÍNCIPES
A LOS QUE SE FUERON
A TEZOZOMOCTZIN, A QUAQUAUHTZIN

EN VERDAD VIVEN
ALLÁ EN DONDE DE ALGÚN MODO SE EXISTE
OJALÁ PUDIERA YO SEGUIR A LOS PRÍNCIPES,
LLEVARLES NUESTRAS FLORES”
