Betrayal And Vengeance

I came to

Tied in a circle

Everything stinks

Tremors the ground

Tarnished scars

Shadows closing in

Wild-eyed chanting

Quakes in the wind

Así bailan (This is how)

Los herejes (The heretics dance)

Amor de sangre (Love of blood)

Cebo traen, (They bring bait,)

Y se caen (And they fall)

Amor de sangre (Love of blood)

Betrayal and vengeance

This is how the puppets dance

To the pipe of the black goat

The downfall has begun

Travelling through us now

A great brightness

Strung and hung

Then the blades

A crown of light

And skewered shades

Levitates into thick air

On a crimson cataract

Así se mueren (This is how)

Los herejes (The heretics die)

Terror de sangre (Terror of blood)

Cada uno tirano, (Each one a tyrant,)

Cuchillo en mano (Knife in hand)

Terror de sangre (Terror of blood)

Betrayal and vengeance

This is how the puppets fall

To the scythe of the black goat

Wielded by their sons

Betrayal and vengeance

This is how the living crawl

In the dirt they go insane

The prey no longer runs

This is how the living pay

Kill their own for one more day

As unction against the sun

Betrayal and vengeance

This is how the puppets die

In the wake of the black goat

Cold rays spread like fire

Betrayal and vengeance

This is how the shivering sky

Fumes us out and bleeds us dry

And draws us ever nigher

Neh machitia ahmo (I know you not)

Pero neh oquimpiaya mati (But I have known)

Coyolxauhqui (Coyolxauhqui)

Teh huigui nian (You must come to me)

Teh ya tlanque (You're almost through)

Tehuatl nicmati (You will know me)

Ihcuac nin cocoliztli (When this ordeal is)

Ompa (Over)
