The Ritual And The Reckoning A new age, A new golden age is upon us The sun shines on obsidian, this blade will plunge into a holy reverie Upon the altar lies the one who's worthy, we'll pluck his heart from his chest cavity (Time to die) Between the peaks that rise, his chalice fills with rivers of sacrifice And when the time is come, his drink will spill onto the steps of the sun Now go and be the heart that saves what we've undone This is worth death Now be the heart that saves what can't be saved Worthless Fire is lit within the gaping wound, we'll light our torches from his rife brazier The hearth in every temple cold, suspended, make known the time of empty days is here Years crawl faster as the hands tick closer to the twelve One more until it's over Years crawl faster as the hands tick closer to the twelve One more until the final five And if the ribs should not bring forth new fire Will our God fall from the sky? Be strong, tonight there is no room for failure The light must come and drive the dark away Destroy mankind We'll stand and harken in this solar era The skies will fill with cries of victory Improve design Thirteen Reed Twenty Ahau Transcending into another time
