Quetzalcoatl is Born
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
[woman singing]: he touched me and suddenly...
it's a cold night in sonora
and the stars are out in full force
it's a moment the world has been waiting for
when you set the world back on course
into the fire you go (2x)
it's a strange gathering around you
and the lord of the snails is born
five minutes before you take on divinity
you hear the crackling, well you hear the snapping corn
into the fire you go (4x)
