Ritual

I raise the obsidian to the wind, breaking the bones
Bloodstained temple, fire and thunder!
This is our offering, deaf and dark bird
Take this beating heart, fire and thunder!

Feed it, chac mool, take it to the cosmos
Let your black Sun shine, and blind the fields
Return us abundance, over misfortune

This is the ritual, take it from the dead
Enrich the warriors, fierce captives in battle
Who protected their people

This is the ritual, take it from the dead

Otinemi cempohualli xiuhtin
Ipan xallixtlahuac, burn this heart
Burn this flesh, warriors
Otimanahui moaltepeu, momasehua
Now is the time of war, now is the time of battle
Prepare yourself, arm yourself
Rise, be brave, great lord sun

Chac mool, chac mool, chac mool take it to the cosmos
Now you will ascend to the sky, through the road, to the place of clouds and stars
Chac mool, chac mool, chac mool take it to the cosmos
Now you will ascend to the sky, through the road, to the place of clouds and stars

Feed it, chac mool, take it to the cosmos
This is the ritual, take it from the dead
