As a king I have walked
Through Tezcatlipoca
Where life is no more
Than their fountain of youth
Yet shadow and death
Is conquistador truth
In my heart sacrificed
For transcendence I seek
Quetzalcoatl
At Tonatiuh's peak
My Mexica will rise
To Huitzilopochtli
The lord of the skies
Makes Cortes desires become lunacy
By returning all things
Back to Tlaltechutli

My Mexica will rise
To Huitzilopochtli
The lord of the skies
Makes Cortes desires become lunacy
By returning all things
Back to Tlaltechutli
