The Book of Souls歌词

作词 : Steve Harris/Janick Gers
作曲 : Steve Harris/Janick Gers

Sacrifices buried with kings

Accompany them on a journey with no end
To an afterlife that'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 fulfill man'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 that's full of all the wealth and riches
Can never last an eternity
After living in a golden paradise
The ultimate sacrifice
Prophecy of sky Gods

The sun and the moon

Passing of old ways will come true soon

Falling of ages
Forest of kings
The search for 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

~solo~
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

~solo~
The book of souls
