Mangled Far Below

On The Headless Ritual

The ancient civilizations

In their temples filled with dread

Were linked together with their gods

By rivers flowing red

Prosperity and power

Gained from bodies without heads

In sacrifice the balance lies

The chosen stricken down

The gods' insatiable lust for death

Had limits never found

Harmony can only exist

With corpses on the ground

Humans squander greatness

The ways of wisdom gone

A cancerous shadow looming

I must bring back the dawn

Selected for this, I am

This world screams inside

The lambs await my coming

I see inside their minds

One by one the open minds

Are standing by my side

Taken from the hand of darkness

For sanity they've cried

Cast aside your past life

You have joined the enlightened pride


[Solo]

The ancient blood will spill again

Our numbers only grow

Our temples raised, our hearts are pure

The power in us flows

I'll lead my people to the sun

The time has come to go

The vultures will feed and I will look down

On the mangled far below
