Xaxamatza - In the Form of Pyramids and with Languages of Fire Lyrics


Orbs of night, spirit spheres, dismal hours, dreadful

twilight. Betaken to the Underworld. Divine master,

the fiery mirror. People of darkness, axe of the night.

Noxious scorpion, grisly disguise. Visitation of plague

and war. Scattering maladies and disease, Huay Pek,

the maw and the fiery tongue

“Nomatca nehuatl niquetzalcoatl nimatl nehuatl

niyoatl nimoquequeloatzin, atle ipan nitlamati.”

“It is I in person. I am Quetzalcoatl. I am

Matl. I who am the very war, I am

Moquequeloatzin, for I neither

fear nor do I owe.”

Imprisoned in the caverns, by the powers of evil.

His dark domain, Camazotz.

Sudden bloodletter, blood thirsty decapitator,

headless and without feet.

Nose in the shape of an obsidian knife.

Straw Death Ruled Unworthy

For I see their blood “take their blood”

For I see their flesh “take their flesh”

Burn their bones and you shall deliver.

Oblivion will reverse and silence shall echo.

In the form of pyramids and with languages of fire.
