serocs - mictlan calleth lyrics

Loading...

the battlefield is the place:
where one toasts the divine liquor in war
where are stained red the divine eagles
where the tigers howl
where all kinds of precious stones rain from ornaments
where wave headdresses rich with fine plumes
where princes are smashed to bit

there is nothing like death in war
nothing like the flowery death
so precious to him who gives life
far off i see it: my heart yearns for it!

and they called it teotihulcan
because it was the place
where the lords were buried
thus they said:

‘when we die
truly we die not
because we will live, we will rise
we will continue living, we will awaken’

thus the dead one was directed
when he died:
‘awaken, already the sky is rosy
already dawn has come
already sing the flame+coloured guans
the fire+coloured swallows
already the b+tterflies fly.’

thus the old ones said
that who has died has become a god

even jade is shattered
even gold is crushed
even quetzal plume are torn . .
one does not live forever on this earth:
we endure only for an instant!

will flowers be carried to the kingdom of death:
is it true that we are going, we are going?
where are we going, ay, where are we going?
will we be dead there or will we live yet?
does one exist again?

perhaps we will live a second time?
thy heart knows:
just once do we live!
like a quetzal plume, a fragrant flower
friendship sparkles:
like heron plumes, it weaves itself into finery
