A battle is raging, deep within my mind
A look at my reflection, nothing there, its blank
Amid the smoke and fire, incense burning bright
I commence this ritual, for Tezcatlipoca to arrive
Bring me fire, to burn copal and light this night
Pierce my flesh, cut deep enough to bleed and pour,

I bleed in his name

I feel a burn around my chest through my neck I cannot breathe
You have chosen me amongst beast another man,
This smoke invokes your flame

Shouting, screaming, warriors witness true rituals at hand
Praising, gazing, Ome Acatl you have them at your command
I feel an essence watching, finally possessed my soul
The voice inside my head that tells me, do as your told
"Kill Ce Acatl and conquer the lands of old
Quetzalcoatl reign will end as its foretold"
Bring me fire, copal to burn and light this path
Pierce my flesh, cut deep enough to bleed and pour,
Leaving trails of blood behind

Marching, pounding the war drum, shells shaking that lead the way
Fear, and wonder he leads through the ruins left in smoke

Remnants that call your name

Singing, leading, war chants echo through a forbidden land
A vision, illusion, is this reality a delusion in my mind?
Corrupting, possessing, imprisoning my mind
Distorting, Reflecting, this new way of life
Blinding, contrasting what's inside my eyes
Leaving me to wonder is this a lucid demise
I begin to feel those marching looking at me
Whispering through the lines questioning my sanity
Feeling the suns rays engulfing my soul
This is reality or deceit by the gods?
Bring me fire, to burn copal and light this night
Pierce my flesh, cut deep enough to bleed and pour,

I bleed in his name

Marching, pounding the war drum, shells shaking that lead the way
Fear, and wonder he leads through the ruins left in smoke

Remnants that call your name

Shouting, screaming, warriors witness true rituals at hand
A vision, illusion, is this reality a delusion in my mind?
Who is controlling my soul and my mind?
A ancient god, or a spirit cloaked in black
A distorted reflection of my future, present and past
Leaving me to wonder is this a lucid demise
I begin to feel those marching looking at me
Whispering through the lines questioning my sanity
Feeling the suns rays engulfing my soul
This is reality or deceit by the gods?
