Mangled Far Below

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
