Gory evidence of an entertainer's death
Along with the remains
Of several rare horses

Animals which appear to have been

Sacrificed as well


Were found in the ruins
Of a building at a site called Tell Brak

Which was once the ancient
City of Nagar


Sacrificed as well

2000 years before Christ


They enter the room of pain
Bizarre sacrificial ceremony

Kind of ritualistic performance
That culminated in death by beheading


Sacrificed as well

2000 years before Jesus Christ


Propitiation of the Gods


Centuries of gore
Countless wandering souls
Thousands of victims

In the name of the Gods

For the elitist crowd, they performed

Their most precious tricks, wonderful show
Perfection of moves
Aesthetic, symmetric, ecstatic


They enter the room of pain
They enter the sacrificial room


Propitiation of the Gods
