An ancient world
Of bone and skull
And there stood
An altar
Shimmering
A violent bloodletting
A violent bloodletting
An ancient world
At the center of a city
Made by ancient rhythmicity
In a gateway to another plane
They promise you a place
You see
Little devils dancin' in a cave
All the ones that you could never save
They sold you a spot in heaven
But you ended up in flames
Ahh
You had wished for it to happen
And lamented when it failed
Now their eyes are on you all times
So careful what you say
Ohh
A temple maze
With an altar where the lambs will lay
What used to be a sacred place
Is now a den of thievery
And place of policy
Evil debts
Manufactured in the name of greed
On a raft in a tumultuous sea
Now they've captured you for eternity
And it's washin' over me
And ahh
You had wished for it to happen
And lamented when it failed
Now their eyes are on you all times
So careful what you sayyy
Speak of the devil
Speak of the devil
Conspirin' against the world
Burned at the stake
Burned at the stake
Eyes of white
Twistin' fingers restin' on the hills
Giant wings that twist like windmills
Little one, did the village burn?
Did the evil still return?
And in truth
I confess that I am not to save
All the souls that can't afford to pay
For a ticket to the promised land
But still they raise their hands
Ha ha ha ha ha haaaa
What's another thousand years to me?
The sands of time wash me away
Alien sounds
In a language I can't understand
Million symbols written on their hands
They will guide me through eternity
Or tie me to the tree
And now I am
On an altar of brutality
With the blood of ancient men on me
I am sacrifice for all their deeds
And conduit for their need
To please
The deceiver and the maker
The deceiver and the maker
The deceiver and the maker
An ancient world
Of bone and skull
