Tomb 19 was sacred 1. 000 years or more The Mayan king was restless a curse upon the door His shrouds of royal fabric his journey to be made To offer spirits good and evil 14 beads of jade The jade had ancient power or so beliefs allege To anyone who plundered they would drive him to the edge If you take the treasures of Tomb 19 Let the curse remind you Take the treasures of Tomb 19 But never look behind you On the walls of limestone temples Were medallions craved in stone Describing what was waiting in the Eerie catacombs Though time leaves them in ruins their silhouettes pervade To guard the kings and heroes and the 14 beads of jade If you take the treasures of Tomb 19 Let the curse remind you Take the treasures of Tomb 19 But never look behind you
