In the proud city of Tenochtitlan, no one fears to die in war Giver of eternal life, our glory is your command Warriors fulfill the sacred oath, sacrifice blood, life, and soul Who would try to destroy our land, to conquer heaven here on earth Battle hymns, sang by Ce Acatl, marching king, of the battle won Leaving bodies burning, soldiers agonizing, death usurping those the gods have chosen Witness the rise of the conquering king, said to be chosen by the serpent god himself Rising to power, an empire in his grasp, celebrating this victory for days to come Cheering crowd, praising their king, sacrificing captives' day and night Not knowing across the lands, a revolting tribe makes their stand As the clouds open to the sun, lighting the path that will lead them on Drums and flutes rumble through the forest, thumping like a heartbeat they begin to march Burning arrows darken the sky, blazing in fire anything in their path Blood on the ground, warriors screaming, another battle that must be fought Facing each other, Ce Acatl attacks his foe, armed to the teeth, fearless of their destiny Like two jaguars hunting the same kill, their eyes shine like stars confronting the enemy Swinging clubs of volcanic stone, both men hold on to their own Using their shields to protect their souls, clashing like titans here on earth Empowered by spirits Embraced by the ones above they fight until someone falls Acatl loses focus, An obsidian knife pierce through Like an eagle flying through the open endless skies, injured an eagle descends from its flight Disoriented, grasping his shield and he sees his own blood, pierced by a knife he falls to the ground In the proud city of Tenochtitlan, a tragedy begins to unfold The eagle that once flew high now falls from the skies Warriors see with distraught eyes, will he survive? or will he die? Giver of eternal life his life now is in your hands Wounded, bleeding, fading to the kingdom of the dead Stillness, Numbness, his eyes roll to the back of his head Slipping, drowning, falling into eternal sleep Retreating, weeping, could this be really the end? Restless, endless, the battleground in disarray Soldiers, witness warrior in black injuring our king Wondering, in disbelief what was witness on this day Successful, triumphant, Ome Acatl you have taken the battle today Who would try to destroy our land, to conquer heaven here on earth?
