Lyrics

So this is the story, a possible story, of how one o' the world's greatest civilizations... just... vanished. This is The Book of Souls [Instrumental Intro] [Verse 1] Sacrifices buried with kings Accompany them on a journey with no end To an afterlife that's rich with fruit of all the gods And to face the demons Of their underworld haunts [Verse 2] The sentient is sent to seek out all the truth A flight to earth that is a given from his birth To rise from ashes of the dead Out of the fire he comes to fulfill man's desire [Pre-Chorus] By power day and night and death he rules them Sky and earth and the fires too Two headed reptile, symbol of his reign Universes of the underworld And a life full of wealth and riches Never last an eternity After living in a human paradise, the ultimate sacrifice [Chorus] Prophecy of sky gods, the sun and moon Passing of old ways will come true soon Falling of ages, forest of kings The search for the truth, the book of souls Teh! [Verse 3] The human of planets and stars The power of the kings of traders and-a wars Planetary cycles and-a phases of the moon Are in the document a kingdom they will learn [Pre-Chorus] They were praying to the gods of nature And were living in the cities of stone Sacred towers toward to the heavens Sacred wonders to the world unknown Make their lives a mystery no more Sacred books, passing of laws Sacred gods to the book of lies When a civilization dies [Chorus] Prophecy of sky gods, the sun and moon Passing of ol' ways will come true soon Falling of ages, forest of kings The lost book of souls, destruction begins [Instrumental Break] [Verse 4] Ascending a throne wearing feathers and shells He brought back their lives from the void Alien invasion brings nothing but death Mass exodus and plant life destroyed [Verse 5] Domain of the Earth o' the journey o' truth The underworld caves, Mayan [slaves/slays?] Defeat of the dark Lord, the ultimate proof And-a games where the ancestors rule [Outro] The book of soul
