IRON MAIDEN lyrics : "The Book Of Souls"

Sacrifices buried with kings
Accompany them on a journey with no end
To an afterlife thatâ??s rich with fruit of all the gods

And to face the demons
Of their underworld haunts


The sentient is sent to seek out all the truth
A flight to earth that is a given from his birth
To rise from ashes of the dead

Out of the fire is sent to fulfil manâ??s desire
By power day and night and death he ruled them
The sky and earth and the fires too

Two headed reptile symbol of his reign
Universes of the underworld
A life thatâ??s full of all the wealth and riches

Can never last for an eternity
After living in a golden paradise
The ultimate sacrifice


Prophecy of sky gods, the sun and moon
Passing of old ways will come true soon

Falling of ages, forest of kings
The search for the truth, the book of souls


The rulers of planets and stars
The power of the kings of traders and the wars
Planetary cycles and the phases of the moon

Is in the document a kingdom they will learn
They were praying to the gods of nature
And were living in the cities of stone

Towers reaching upward to the heavens
Sacred wonders for the world unknown
Make their lives be a mystery no more

Records kept and the passing of laws
Sacred gods to the book of lies
When a civilization dies


Prophecy of sky gods, the sun and moon
Passing of old ways will come true soon

Falling of ages, forest of kings
The lost book of souls, destruction begins


Ascending the throne wearing feathers and shells
He brought back their lives from the void
Alien invasion brings nothing but death

Mass exodus and plant life destroyed

Domain of the Earth to the journey of truth

The underworld caves, Mayan slaves
Defeat of the dark Lords
The ultimate proof

In the place where the ancestors rule

The book of souls
