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
 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
