Letra de The Book of Souls (Live at Download Festival, Donington, England - 12th June 2016)
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 hauntsThe 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 is sent to fulfil man's desireBy power day and night and death he ruled them The sky and earth and the fires too Two headed reptile symbol of his reign Universes of the underworldA life that's full of all the wealth and riches Can never last for an eternity After living in a golden paradise The ultimate sacrificeProphecy of sky gods, the sun and moon Passing of old ways will come true soonFalling of ages, forest of kings The search for the truth, the book of soulsThe rulers of planets and stars The power of the kings of traders and the wars Planetary cycles and the phases of the moon Is in the document a kingdom they will learnThey were praying to the gods of nature And were living in the cities of stone Towers reaching upward to the heavens Sacred wonders for the world unknownMake their lives be a mystery no more Records kept and the passing of laws Sacred gods to the book of lies When a civilization diesProphecy of sky gods The sun and moon Passing of old ways will come true soonFalling of ages Forest of kings The lost book of souls, destruction beginsAscending the throne wearing feathers and shells He brought back their lives from the void Alien invasion brings nothing but death Mass exodus and plant life destroyedDomain of the earth to the journey of truth The underworld caves mayan slavesDefeat of the dark lords The ultimate proof In the place where the ancestors ruleThe book of souls
