The Sun has returned cast a shadow in the stone For the feast of blood, knife of the black mirror Feast of flesh, feast of grain, to them its all the same Since the golden one went, to the place below And with their soul, did they sow, with our blood, did it grow When our mother returned his seed to mortal realm Return the land, heal the maize, untangle the silk within Remember, the blood to be spilled, and prepare for whats to come! Be encircled by your brethren, and the sorority of eternity At the solstice hearth or through these hymns for winter Center thyself, on what is, and its echo, from long ago Witness the profane become the sacred as the memory returns And the hearthwood is consumed, and the waters begin to boil And the ancient aroma, fills the air, though tainted With invaders flesh, this ritual restores our soil But only through our toil, will the mother be made anew So, For the Sun and the Rain, bless our scourges' pain And may their cries remind us, we are all the same Their sacrifice tills the soil for planting Let us match their sobs, with the songs we will sing Til then, let the kernels' churn and the fires burn Their bones, to the mortar and the pestle To thicken the boiling broth As the mountain of plantain leaves is consumed May the flesh be blessed and entombed Shrouded, by the leaves and bound in twine And cast into the steam, where in its vapor holds The supernal memory of the matriarchs, they who have always Kept the hearthfire, of the old gods, alive Honoring, whether they know it or not, the suns' rise Over the third temple, in the lost world Its echo felt, in their labor over the feast For centuries, on repeat Blood Kernel Cult Our Flesh In the Pot Our God is our Crop Hail the wheel of time Hail the workers, the crime Our god we will grind Their lords, we will find On the flesh we will feast Its ritual eternity All partake so casually No thought of the casualties the pattern, eternal, its reason Cthonic, and supernal Partake as you will But consider the blood spilled On the pyramids in the jungle Or the blood spilled to forget them And hail those that remember
