lyrics

They came from the skies
The men with serpent eyes
They brought creation
Civilization

Knowledge of the stars
Who we were, who we are
Science of the seasons
The art of reason

They left a prophecy
Before they took to the sea
When the soil burns
Then they would return

Guardians of the light
Hold the torch through the night
Royal bloodlines
They left behind

Falling star
Streaming down
A ball of flame
Ignites the ground

Signs are shown
Eclipsing sun
With plume and cross
They have come

The gods of old
Have come for gold
Not to save
But to enslave

They bring death
Corrupted breath
They spread plague
Annihilate

The gods of old
Have come for gold
Not to save
But to enslave

They bring death
Corrupted breath
They spread plague
Annihilate

Empires crumble
Jungle swallows
Monuments
To Quetzalcoatl

Sacrifices
All in vain
The bloody gods
Have staked their claim

From the dark
There will rise
One who has
Redeemer's eyes

They will teach
Another life
One beyond
The gods of the skies
