Hiding in an ocean of green, a kingdom centuries made unseen With memory preserved of a king on his throne A man made divine, apotheosis in stone for eternity
Emerging from the jungles of time, the remnants of his nation sublime With machete that flies, and the spade digging down Now, here is revealed the mystical crown of the jaguar
Temples set aligned with the stars, bonding man with heavens afar Between earth and sky the sovereign did stand With blood sacrifice and his serpents in hand, he reigned
Of maize made, and the blood of the gods, ascending stairs none other may trod He was less than a god, yet more than a man His name shall be known as king of copan forever!
Under his rule a great metropolis did rise Atop his pyramid it spreads before his eyes Amidst the bloodletting he reigns The fields made fertile by his veins
With reputation of a patron king adored Artists and architects, they flock in by the score They did create this royal place One thousand renderings of his face
The art of war had been by ball and court replaced Bringing serenity to once a brutal place Yet jealous rivals made their plan To be usurpers of his land
A swift abduction marked the ending of his reign The people wept for their immortal king in chains! How swiftly sliced the hand of doom Sending him headless to his tomb
It's always been that those who use their wealth and power To leave behind works of such grandeur- Their names shall be known It shall be a legacy far beyond measure Beyond edifices and treasure A gift to all humanityTeksty umieszczone na naszej stronie są własnością wytwórni, wykonawców, osób mających do nich prawa.
