The Jaguar Priest

Ever since the road to the stars

Descended from the heavens to earth

I have seen the thirteen and nine

I was shown the source of my birth

Chilam balam show us the way

We must spill the blood of your brothers

Even til the very last day,

Even that a father and mother

I am the jaguar priest

For the people I gather the knowledge

The jungle opens up for me,

As I run to meet the great God

Kukulkan

Speaks only to me

As the sun rises up in the east

I am the only one allowed to see

I am the jaguar priest

He told me to paint the bodies blue

And prepare for the blood sacrifice

Its the only way the people are free from the

Awesome wrath of kukulkan

Sacrifice, and vow before me

Get on your knees

I am eternal, for the stars I leave

I will always be, the jaguar priest

Sacrifice, and vow before me

On your knees

I am eternal, for the stars I leave

I will always be, the jaguar priest

Ever since the road to the stars

Descended from the heavens to earth

I have seen the thirteen and nine

I was shown the source of my birth

He has showed me the mark of the days

All the way up to the point in time

When thirteen baktun shall open up

The road to the underworld

Sacrifice, and vow before me

Get on your knees

This is how I know

So, I will make, the calendar

To mark all the days

And when kukulkan return to the sea

I will stop atop el castillo

He will always provide for me

Never leave me alone, in the darkness

For I am not merely, like all the others

I am the jaguar priest
