A living God amongst men stands alone
For an entire year I've been revered
They're worshipping my name and praise my soul
They hope my death will bring them strength
Was chosen by the priests to give my blood
And feed the sun or bring the rain
A lonely child is laying on the deadly stone
A lonely child will die in vain
Beyond the stairs the end awaits
(the sacred sword swoops down on you)
They chant my name until I pass away
(the sacred sword swoops down on you)
So now the hour has come for me to go
To give my heart and save the day
The completion of my fate leads me to
The gate of death , the realm of slaves
The spirits gone before me lead my steps
Towards the stone where I'll be slain
The flame of life will shine on in your gaze
If you see my soul fly away
Beyond the stairs the end awaits
(the sacred sword swoops down on you)
They chant my name until I pass away
(the sacred sword swoops down on you)
Beyond the stairs the end awaits
(the sacred sword swoops down on you)
They chant my name until I pass away
(the sacred sword swoops down on you)
