Letra de Crimson Offering

Through a process of absorption and conquest Rituals of blood to appease the divine Offerings of life To feed the gods' hunger Captured in battle or from tribute The war god is especially thirsty To invoke the spirits of the sun and war Prevention of plague, defeat, and famine A scene of darkness and death Royal libation of blood Waterfalls of red fall from the pyramid Producing lakes of blood Covering pits full of corpses, piled a hundred high Ritual sacrifice on a vast scale Never seen before or since Communion with superior beings The gods are thirsty, they must be fed With a steady supply of human hearts And Crimson offering The blood of sacrifice For expiation, and perpetuating life To honor the gods Of the earth, and the rain, and fire The horror, the honor Surrounded by the unworthy Spread eagle on a round stone Content to die Waterfalls of red fall from the pyramid Producing lakes of blood Covering pits full of corpses, piled a hundred high With an obsidian knife Chests are cut open, they're still alive! Removal of still beating Removal of still beating hearts Blood flows like rivers Bodies tossed to the bottom One hundred high So the sun will rise Through a process of absorption and conquest Rituals of blood to appease the divine Offerings of life To feed the gods' hunger Captured in battle or from tribute The war god is especially thirsty To invoke the spirits of the sun and war Prevention of plague, defeat, and famine A scene of darkness and death To ward off the fury and wrath
