Tikal

At the dawn of time, cyclopean walls
Snake columns of fire
Feather god, ocean side, 12000 years
Stars regressing, stars conspire
Tikal – the heart of sun
Tikal – the sun empire

At the dawn of time, mists on ancient highways
Power plants and cities of our dreams
Heavy dragons headed horizon
Leather demons, sunken beasts
Tikal – the heart of sun
Tikal – the never ending feast

At the dawn of time, architects in spirals
Arabesques of the ancient skies
Utopias rebuilt inside a second
Endless roads to Venus and to Mars
Tikal – the heart of sun
Tikal – the buzzing god of flies

At the dawn of time, rebuilding galaxies
Earthworks of the primal universe
High rise blocks at the nest of this world
Urban jungles like a cancerous cell
Tikal – the heart of sun
Tikal – the vision well

At the dawn of time, sermons of chrome
Wheels of peace in turn
Darkest culture, secret rites, 12000 years
Earth must fall, stars must burn
Tikal – the heart of sun
Tikal – now in mighty ruin

At the dawn of time, cultures rise and fall
Rivers carrying the news
The jaguar must bathe in his own blood
The monkey attached to her views
Tikal – the heart of sun
Tikal – forever white and blue
