lyrics

Teal waters reflect
The cave walls like the night sky
In the bottom of the Cenote
A cave in the lake
Where it is thought time began

It is this cave you are told of
By the voice in the changed dampened air
At the shoreline
Where it first told you
Of the strange white men's lies

But a brother Red Star
Left a cache marked by a colossal head
by the lake

Now is the time foretold in the songs
Symbolized in the dances
They told us of...

The voice murmuring in the haze
That hangs over the water
Like the sweet waters carry the message
Of a pool, down the stream, of a dream, but farther you must go than it seems

Only when enough have fallen from the sky
Will the world as it is completely die

This is what must be done!
Fear not the blood shed
Nor the retreat of life
Do what you must
To keep the fires alight
As the time for burning grows e'er near!
Bat away the fear of darkness and harness
The pulling weight of the void inside
To weaponize the moment before us

And so we thank the Red Stars
That guide us
Through the voids they left behind
For the baton they've handed us
Is the scepter we must break
And stake their dying world
In the heart
Gilded parasites
Their tendrils crushed underfoot

Cease the writhing
With the tip of a bayonet
Call forth the others to seize the appendages
And pin it into its grave
Let the soil you heap on its corpse
Host the flowers of a peace long yet to be
Only when their world is completely taken
to the depths
Will ours begin to rise anew
From the ashes we will grow
To the ashes let their world go


So take the rifle
From the Red Stars cave
In the lake and gather the tinder
And the fuel
For it is you who are called
To heed the voice inside
Pluck the blade from the stone
Bring forth the ALL to one

Take it to heart
Like the obsidian through the bone
Bring the all to the one
And the one to the all
Do what you're called
Fear not the forever fall
