The spinning pendulum weakened his mind.
He had been betrayed,
his luminous body caught in the throes
of entrapment.

Brought here by the beckoning whispers
spoken to sprigs
cast out to the ritual flame,
seeping into his dreams.
Poisoned by the calabash fruit,
readying for
possession by the demonic Xic;
beheading.

"Summoning the Queen of the Damned
drawing her to the tree,
We'll hang his head upon the branch
impregnating Xquic.

He is the conduit of resurrection
to birth the pure blooded prince of Xibalba.
His weakened grieving soul
sacrificed to the Cult of Kukulkan.

This is his only salvation.
He'll find his son through death.

His vacant body, left behind,
will become our offering
to the void splitting beneath
by the Great Equinox.

The gates to the underworld
have been ruptured open.
She will come to Hunahpu
seeking forbidden fruit.

Replace the Maize God of this realm.
An evil servant waits for her,
spitting out demonic seed
to spawn a king to reign below."

[Solo Ray]

The prisoner remains
paralyzed
by the turbid philters.
Through sorcery-
trials of treachery;
they appease the serpent,
sharpening the blade
to decapitate.

Exploiting vulnerability,
forsaken by these forces.
Ever elusive as his closure-
so is survival.

[Solo Sean]

The ailments take control
of his mind.
Wailing from depression,
praying for death,
bound by leather restraints.
Black magick incantations
banishing the id
to dehumanize.

Exploiting vulnerability,
forsaken by these forces.
Ever elusive as his closure-
so is survival.

[Solo Jerry]

"Alash Tad Al-Ash Tal Ashtu.
Awaken, great Bringer Of Death.
Come be present in our sacred space."

The chanting echoes on
into the night,
summoning demons.

Ingesting intoxicants,
ayahuasca,
their eyes roll back.

Evil dwells within the lahar
stifling fumes,
conjured by imposturous spells,
craving innocent hosts.
Life force soon abandoning him,
no place to run.
Possession only one step away-
trial of flames.

"Summoning the Queen of the Damned
drawing her to the tree,
We'll hang his head upon the branch
impregnating Xquic."
