Azteca - Clash of the Gods [feat. Diva Satánica & Francesco Paoli]

In the Aztec mythology, legend tells of how Coyolxauhqui, Goddess of the Moon, attempts to kill the unborn child of her mother, Coatlicue, for considering it a bastard.

Along with her 400 brothers, the Centzon Huitznahuac, she attacks Coatlicue only to be defeated by her newly born son, Huitzilopochtli, the Rising Sun and God of the War.

LYRICS

Verse 1:

Coyolxauhuqui (Diva Satanica):

Rise my brothers, we march for the Mountain of Snakes
Our shameless mother has fallen in bitter disgrace
In her womb she carries dishonor
An evil spawn that must never be born!

Centzonhuiznahua (Francesco Paolli):

How could Coatlicue commit such an outrage?
How dared she taint the purity of our kin?
Coyolxauhqui lead the Centzonhuiznahua!
Kill the bastard, kill the child in her womb!

Chorus - Coatlicue:

Flaming Serpent, feathered shield
Flesh gets rotten, blood is spilled
Headless torso, shattered limbs
Sun is born, Moon is dead

Verse 2:

Centzonhuiznahua:

Sedition and treason the witch and her bastard invoked
A coward betrayer by spells of the villain provoked
Speaks to the unborn, unveiling our plans
Threatening our victory, threatening our lives

Coyolxauhqui:

What could a sorcerer conjure against the 400?
We are descendants of an ancient lineage of gods
Mother and Bastard our obsidian will sunder
Tonight and forever we shall bathe in their blood!

Corus:

Flaming Serpent, feathered shield
Flesh gets rotten, blood is spilled
Headless torso, shattered limbs
Sun is born, Moon is dead

Huitzilopochtli:

I am the rising sun
I will kill you but you will never die
I am The God of War
I condemn you to live forever in darkness

Interlude, The Death of Coyolxauhqui:

Fields of maize shall bathe in my blood
Men shall feed on my flesh
Throw my head to shine in the skies
Sun is born and Moon is dead

Grand Finale – Huitzilopochtli:

I am the almighty ruler of men
Wielder of Xiuhcoatl, the flaming serpent sword
Born with my armor, holding my shield
Ready for battle, ready to kill!

I am the Hummingbird, that comes from the south!
Learn what you shall call me, worship my name:
Huitzilopochtli, GOD OF THE SUN!
Huitzilopochtli, GOD OF THE WAR!
